I Want to be a clear-decision making person

Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson

When my son, Jack, was four, I had to make a trip to Los Angeles. I asked him if he was going to miss me.
"Not so much," Jack told me. "You're not going to miss me?" I said. Jack shook his head, and he said, "Love means you can never be apart." I think that's the basis on which this story was built, and I suppose that it revolves around a belief that nothing is more important in life than giving and receiving love. At least, that has been my experience.

And so, this is for you, Jack, my wise son, with much love. And for Suzie-your mom, my best friend and wife, all in one.

And, finally, for Richard Dilallo, who helped tremendously at a key point in the development of the final story.
