To my mom and dad—
Thank you for believing in me long before anyone else knew my stories. Your encouragement, patience, and unwavering support gave me the confidence to keep writing, even when the road seemed uncertain. Every milestone DeLaCruz Publishing reaches is built upon the foundation you helped create.
From the first pages written on a small laptop to watching those stories evolve into something I could only dream of, every chapter of this journey has been made possible because you never stopped believing in me.
I love you both, and this journey would not have been possible without you.
With love and gratitude,
Tomas M. DeLaCruz
A Note of Thanks
