If you have not yet opened the book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse , by Charlie Mackesy, please take ten minutes to read. You will not be disappointed.

For the love of my family, who I am surrounded by on this journey. For the love I receive from my extended family, through virtual hugs, emails, texts, phone calls and acts of kindness.
