Mum and Dad, who, despite being retired, put themselves back into the parenting game to help with the care of my children so that I could continue for as long as I have, and for having the strength to ride a storm of epic proportions with me. Never underestimate a Dowie; we are as tough as nails. To Christabel, my beautiful 10 year old, who is fast going on 16—a classic all-rounder, who is a singer, an actress, a speaker, and an artist. She is an old soul who has walked this earth before. She has compassion for others and is wise beyond her years, and I can't wait to be there to see her develop into the strong, capable woman she can be. And Hunter, the once 18-month-old that hung like a monkey over this balcony of this House, yelling "Mum, Mum!", now 8 years old—a mathematician, a sports nut, a musician, and an ambidextrous Fortnite player with hacker capability. You were just a baby when I arrived, and I am pleased that I will get more time to spend with you to watch you apply your talents to whatever you choose for yourself.
