Acknowledgments
Caring is truly a labor worthy of being done and without those people in our lives who care for us, the completion of this project would not have been possible. We owe our neverending gratitude to Janet Lynn, Bonnie, Michele, and Christina (Chrissi) as they are the embodiment of dialogue as the labor of care.
We are eternally grateful for the relationships born in the labor of this task. We must thank our friends and colleagues Melissa Cook and John Prellwitz for their continued support of this project. The task of learning and the labor of the program brought us together. True friendships were born because of the caring relationships found in the burden.
We thank our husbands, Brian and Dan, for continuing to put up with the demands of our time that this project has made. We express our gratitude to Ronald C. Arnett, Janie Harden-Fritz, and Richard Thames for their intellectual generosity and continued support of these ideas. Finally, we also thank Denton and Magdelyn for their curiosity and unique ability to remind us to play.
