This novel is dedicated to alot of people. To Eld. Jerry B. Madkins, Jr. (my brother) - Man, we lived through some Allegations, "But through it all God brought us through." You go boy and do your thang. God is going to use you mightily. Thanks for letting me free myself. Praise them haters off. To Herman J. Boone (my husband) - Thanks for allowing me to use my talents. I know you thought I was ignoring you, but I wasn't. You are the most wonderful man in my life. I appreciate you so much. "I promise. I'll be off the computer in five minutes." Love you! To Linda J. Madkins (my mother) - Thanks for always praying for Jerry and I even when we didn't tell you what was going on. I'm gonna call you next week. I promise. To Dr. Jerry B. Madkins, Sr. (my father) - Thanks for teaching me that CHURCH FOLK can be funny and not ha ha funny. That's the only way I got through this with my sanity. I am going to write a serious book one of these days. To Gloria Smith (my aunt) - Thanks for being there and having my back. I know that I could have made one phone call and you would have been on a plane to Dallas, ready to hurt somebody about your "Babies". To Jolene Myles (my sister-in-law) - Thanks for calling me. Thanks for having my back. Thanks for not gossiping with me and to me. You are my girl, forever and always. I still got your birthday present from 2006. To Lanette Pugh (my hair stylist) - Thanks for knowing me well enough to know who I really am. Thanks for having my back when folks were talking crazy about my brother and I. You will never know how much that meant to me. I need some braids. To Westside Baptist Church (my church family) - Thanks for being my place of healing. I needed that time to heal. To All the People Who Spread the Allegations (you know who you are) - Thanks for making me stronger. It's been over two years, can't you all find something else to talk about, like Kingdom work. The Lord is on His way back. |
