Thank You's

I would like to thank everyone that I have ever come in contact with, whether it was a good or bad experience. If I had not have met them, I wouldn't have the life experiences to share with the world.... and then what would I write about?

There are some people that stand out more than others,(just to name a few...hehehe)

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be crazy. I wouldn't even be here.

You both have given me the best inspiration that I could ever ask for.

Jason Dean Bright

If it wasn't for your abuse, I never would have learned how to be a survivor.

Ronald Wayne Smelcer and Jeffrey Curtis Campbell

If it wasn't for the two of you, I wouldn't have the greatest gifts that anyone could ever receive, my daughters.

My DarkAngel (He knows who he is)

Thank you for bringing back the fire in my life. I shall never forget that.

Brian Michael Duke Brinkley

Thank you for always biting your tongue when times get rough. I am not an easy person to live with, but some dreams are worth chasing after. You brought me the true pleasures of life.

William Emil Chandler

Thank you for being my first true love, and lifetime friend. You have saved my life over and over again, I could never find the appropriate way to repay you.

Rachel Janie Ebel

Thank you for showing me that I could believe in my dreams, and that friendships don't always last forever.

Casey Marcum

Thank you for giving me lots of practice in creative writing class. I often look back on those memories of passing back and forth notes, and it brings a smile to my face. We both learned how to write in that class.

Shadowmere

Thank you for staying up with me on those nights that I dearly needed company... "Sleep only comes to the weak."

David Isaac Luke Murray

Thanks for trying so hard at everything you do. It sets a perfect example for others... like me. Thanks for being one of the only souls not to give up on me.

Anna Nicole Green

Thank you for keeping in touch with me, even after nine years. You are the best pen pal I could ever ask for, and the only one to ever endure my friendship throughout time. (Maybe because you are so far away that you don't have to see me everyday).

Bradley Allen Weaver

Thanks for proving to me that fantasy can become a reality. Our friendship has compromised a lot in your life, I thank that you stuck by me.

Mac Robert Sean Padrick O'Griffin

Thank you for not leaving me alone. You always cuddled with and comforted me on those sleepless nights. (Even when I was incoherent, from a drunken stupor).

Patti Kortkamp

Thank You for being the only counselor to get through. You were able to teach me about life's gray areas. Things don't always have to be extreme, but it is good to write them that way.

Jacob Furlow

Thanks for understanding me, and how I operate. It's always nice to meet another dreamer.

Jacob Braggs

Thank You for speaking to me. I grew smarter just being in the same room with all that intellectual conversation. Besides, you always give the best advice.

The deaths of Austin James "Jamie" Bright, Brian Matthew Pate, and Emily Jean Pate will always weigh heavily on my mind. All three of you influenced my life in such a way that I will never forget you. I Love You and Miss You all very much. I know that you are all smiling down on me and all my progress, not only in writing, but throughout life.
