In loving memory of my father, Leonard Weinberg (August 6, 1941–October 10, 2012), the best man I—or anyone who met him—ever knew. Daddy, I hope I appreciated you while you were here. I know you are with me now that you are gone. I just need time to feel you. This book is dedicated to you—for believing in me, for loving me, for somehow convincing me I can do anything I set my mind to. At some point I began to believe you . . . And look at me now. It’s all because of you. I love you and I miss you more than words can say.
