“I appreciate your giving my book -- and in no small way, me -- a chance. To thank you, I really wanted to acknowledge all of you in the book. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough room for each name. So I've put in a code name that stands for all of you reading this book. The name is 'Mom.' It will be our little secret.

And don't let my mother try to tell you otherwise.” KnowsWayGivingTryingLittlesBookEnoughWantedMotherReadingNamesChanceRoomsSecretTalkingMomAppreciateCodeAcknowledgeAcknowledgmentAppreciate You Author:Ellen DeGeneres
