I'm from a small town called Shreveport Louisiana" Cooper Rd" to be exact. Born in Parkland Hospital (Dallas Texas) but all I know is Shreveport Louisiana. I wrote this book for my children and hopefully their children's children. Generation of my bloodline after I'm long gone. I didn't want anyone else to write or tell my story so I decided to do it and tell myself. Besides God, I was the only character there at all times. It wasn't easy growing up in them concrete jungles of Shreveport Louisiana. Poverty everywhere, as far as the eye could see. All we had was each other. We called it family. Everything was about prayer and God. Thunder and lightning outside don't make no noise. Take your hat off in the house and don't sweep nobody's foot with that broom. This book is for my children who I love with all of my heart and soul. I don't be around them like I wish I could because of their mom, but that's ok I'm learning to deal with it. It's not easy at all, half the time I feel broken. Depressed. The very reason for this book. I hope my son's grow up to be good well mannered men, and I hope that my only daughter grows up to be the angel that I always dreamed she'd be. I hope she takes her time and be patient. Daddy loves you. Always have and always will and there ain't nothing on this earth that you can do about it. Have fun and enjoy life. Remember God, and remember peace. Leave you all with just two little words:" Take Plenty"! Have no idea of where am at or where I'm going but I hope this letter finds all of you in the best of health. If God is with you, then who on earth can stand up against you. Peace
