ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS



I would like to thank the following people for their loving support in helping me bring this book to life. To my publishers, Chris Newton and Tony Tingle at Memoirs Publishing. Thank you for making my dream come true. It was fantastic working with you both.

To my grandma for recognising my talent as a writer and pointing me in the right direction to getting this book published.

To my Nan, as you were the most influential person in my life whilst growing up. Although you are not here in person, I know you are watching over me. You will always remain in my heart and you are truly missed.

To Cynthia, for all the support and belief you had in me as a person and for treating me like one of your own.

To my family and close friends – you know who you are. I thank you for standing by me and going through every emotion I have had on the journey that I have travelled.

To my mother Sandra – you are my rock. Without your support and help whenever I have needed it, I don’t know what I would have done without you. I love you.

To the Lord above, I thank you for giving me the strength when I was weak and for blessing me with this life I now have.

Last of all, to anyone I have not mentioned who has comforted me over the years (or was there to lend a helping hand.) You are still significant in my life and I thank you.
