First eBook Edition: January 2005 ISBN:0-7595-1303-1 This work is dedicated to all of us who have been through an expe- rience such as this. We are not survivors nor are we victims. We are the ones that were given a chance to experience life as few people ever will. We are tempered and made stronger in our foundations through the fire we once knew. The embers that often bring back the memories and tears will always burn. They are a reminder of where we once were. As responsible and productive adults, we now have the opportunity to share, understand, and even heal. We must al- ways remember and admit that this happens to children we know and children we don’t. This happens every day and often in our own neighborhoods. This work is dedicated to all those that step up and make our homes the loving safe haven they should be. I admire and I am inspired by your dedication.
