To my Aunt, Vanessa Rocha, for teaching me to have a calm look and observe the facts more clearly. To my mother, Ivonete Rocha, for her sacrifices and power.

To my two daughters, Carolina and Beatriz, who give me the energy to walk even further; to my father, Jo?o Lobato, for his great wisdom and intelligence; and to my mother, Dinah, for her love and affection.
