Special
Thanks

First and foremost, I thank Arieldavid, my wonderful son, for choosing me to be his mother, teaching me the power of unconditional love and for showing me the path to “Cherishing Life”, And I thank God for his grace, without which I could not achieve anything. Living and managing a rare chronic condition such as Arieldavid’s brings many challenges to our daily lives which made completing the book and building the website an uneasy task and took over two years of continues work during late nights and most weekends and was made possible thanks to the assistance of many good people, I would like to thank and name some of them here as well as those who made our lives better and it is thanks to them that we may share our story. Much thanks goes to my mother Atalia Salomon and her life partner Jeff Belman that helped me and Arieldavid in so many ways to bring happiness and stability into our lives. A big thanks to my longtime friend Audrey Serper for editing the book with much thoughtfulness and dedication and for giving me lots of positive feedback and encouragement to write it in the first place, thank you for believing in me and thank you for the contribution to my story and work. A very special thank you to my Guru, the Yogi Master of Bhrigu Yoga, Dr. Jayant K. Bhadury and his wife Vatsala Bhadury, his brother, Acharya Hemant K. Bhadury and his wife Mithlesh Kishori Bhadury for their ongoing blessings, and projection of good energy and for the valuable teachings that helped heal my son and allowed us both to live better lives. Special thanks to the late Adam Fish, to Moshe Fibich, and to Rachel Ben Ari for your bravery in standing up for what is just and for the six-year-long, pro-bono, court battle you won so that Arieldavid could live at home like any other child.
