      Unconditional Love

      I love my family because they have made my life interesting, exciting and sometimes challenging. Love to Willie Norwood Sr. – husband, Brandy – daughter, Ray J – son and Sy’rai – granddaughter. Beverly Bates–Nobles, my sister, always and forever you’ll be close to me. To my late father, Freddie and my loving mother, Mary Bates for paving the road with preparation and love. To my everlasting friends and supporters through my ups and downs: Tracye Kennedy, Portia Hodge, Ryan Presson, Danna Cook, Paula Tuggey, Issy Sanchez, Rayva Harrell, Courtney Barnes, Chrissy Murray, Lamont Pete, Terrance Harrington, Stephanie Mason, Marenda Taylor, Surrayah Odwin, Troy Jackson, Tyrelle Nelson, Aries Dendy and Zach Patterson.

      Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety. -Proverbs 11:14

      Thanks to Willie Norwood and Rayva Harrell for helping me to edit the first draft of this book. They marked their corrections with smiles and support. I knew they were being kind, but I still felt the book wasn’t ready for release; so, I asked Tiara Wilson, a college student and friend, if she would read and correct. When I received her comments, there were markings everywhere. I made the corrections, but I still felt that it was not edited enough. I thought that I would settle this matter by getting a professional editor on my book. This is important, I said. "I can’t have readers run into a typo or grammar error, so I contacted Tracie Howie. Tracie was willing to help. Thank goodness, after getting her draft, everything seemed to fall in place. Would you believe, I still had problems believing the book was ready for publishing? I decided that if I continued to read and revise the book, it would need another edit, and it would never be released. Not true, I had this book edited two more times before I called it the end of editing. And so it was the end of it. If you find any errors in this book, let it go because they don’t alter or change the meaning of the text; however, the errors got by seven intelligent people. I didn’t include myself...I’ll get better on my next eBook – I promise.
