This poem is the dedication from the preface
to my first published novel, A Familiar Rain.
Abbey and Alex are the main characters
but are thinly disguised projections of us and our lives
And it’s you, of course—
It always is.
From Alex to Abbey…
You roll your eyes
The same way you did
When I first asked you
To coffee—
The first time we met.
I know I’m a nerd
And you don’t believe
Half what I say…
Neither do I, but
From Alex to Abbey…
That’s huge—
A dedication to you
Of our whole life
From me to you…
And yes, you can roll your eyes,
Like you did
When we first met…
But I really am,
You know,
Dedicated to you...
And whatever
Comes next
A man of his word; you are a gem my friend. Happy anniversary. :)

I just wrote to your wife, I liked the pictures of your marriage very much and I loved her story just like I thought your poem for her was beautiful. I hope you two will be happy for a long long time. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
