For Jem Thank you for your trust, your wisdom, and your unwavering honesty. You opened your world to me so I could write with care and truth, and in doing so, you changed mine. You taught me about strength, about joy, about becoming. You showed me what it means to live fully, to love deeply, and to embrace myself without fear. Because of you, a character was born who carries all that light. And because of you, I will never be the same—only better.
