You gave me Christopher Robin, and then
You breathed new life in Pooh. Whatever of each has left my pen Goes homing back to you. My book is ready, and comes to greet The mother it longs to see— It would be my present to you, my sweet, If it weren't your gift to me. |
From The House at Pooh Corner

My dedication, although not as elegantly expressed, is
just as heartfelt.
For my family, who gave me the gift of love and the time
to create this.
For my mom, who created the illustrations of our family.
