A Family Affair: Inspirational Short Stories & Poetry About Family & Faith

Preface

This book is dedicated to everyone who purchased this book and took the time to read my thoughts. It is most definitely appreciated. As my great friend’s father, Pastor Ferdinand would say, You are all beautiful. I am grateful to you all.

I am grateful to my grandparents, who taught their ten children to turn all the stumbling blocks in their lives into stepping-stones and to take the challenges we came across as a whole family and improve on them. To my mother and father, thanks for dealing with me. My sisters and brother, ditto. You guys have a crazy brother. To my cousins all around the world, know that I always have you on my mind. Amy, you are an angel. You bring out the best in me. To my close friends, you all know who you are, thank you for your positive influences and for helping me to discern what’s real and what’s unauthentic.

I can’t forget God, of course. Without Him I would not have the ability to do absolutely anything. Thank you for the trials you have put me through—without them I would not be who I am today.
