To my brother, Robbie, and my sisters, Vicky, Catherine, and Mikaeyla, thank you for your ongoing support and love and for keeping me grounded. To my husband, Rob, you are my rock. You've stood by me through thick and thin and always have a hug and a smile ready at just the right moment. I love you, I adore you, and I'm proud of you. To my wonderful daughter, Scarlett, you are and always will be my number one. You give me a reason to smile every day. I love you. I'm so proud of you, and I hope that in the future, you're proud of your mum, too, and that you look back and don't just remember missed bedtimes but lots of love and laughter, too. Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui hoki. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā rā tātou katoa.
