For Patrick Wepking , our real-life hero, grandpa, husband, and legend. This book is for the man who could light up a room with a joke, fix anything with patience, and make every kid feel like the most important person in the world. Your spirit lives on in every laugh, every rainbow, every goofy ninja flip. You were brave, kind, and just the right amount of ridiculous. We miss you dearly—and now, you're forever a gecko in the wind, fighting bad guys with style, sidekicked by a rooster named Denise, and loved beyond words by your family. Mahalo, Grandpa Patrick. This adventure is yours.
