First giving all honor and praise to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I love You because You are the greatest and most powerful blessing in my life.  I thank You for never letting me go even when I wanted to give up.  You have taught me a lesson that I can share with the world.  You gave me the strength to persevere and endure through emotional streets of joy, sadness, suicidal thoughts and in the midst of it all, unilaterally providing a safe environment for my four wonderful sons. You put the broken pieces of my heart and dream back together again.
      To my sons, Richard, David, Joshua and Timothy; there is no one in this world who has blessed me more than the four of       you.  You gave me your love and unwavering support through some pretty rough times in our lives.  I love you all forever       and always.  (Richard thanks for the book cover design.  You did it son!)
      To my parents, Issac and Everlena Gardner, Daddy you are my hero.  If it had not been for your undying love for me and the       foundation that you built under me to sustain me, I don’t know if I would have made it through this red sea.  Madea you       were my sweet, sweet rose.
      To my shadow, Barbara (Niecee), you are an angel and the sweetest sister a girl could have.  You’ve been there for me       emotionally and physically and I will never forget the sacrifices you’ve made for me and my family. 
      To my brothers and sisters, Jessie, Isiah (Man), Margaret, Bertha, Betty, Melda, Walter and Alice, I love all you.  Thank you       for your support.  (Thank you, Man, for my beautiful car. I will never forget your kindness.)
      To my partner and friend, Tony Grant, you will always be a part of my life. I love you.
      To my friends, Cynthia Scott, thanks for planting a seed in this ministry, Kathy Kennebrew, you’re my girl, thank you for your encouragement; Erica Brown, you keep me going girl; Cynthia Wilson, you stood by me and I will always love you; Ray Frazier, you keep a dry roof over my head; Frederica Harvey, thank you for all of your support.. You’ve been an inspiration in my life; Robert Wilson, thank you for giving me a new start; Eric Wilson, you’ll always be special to me; Gli Griffin, you’re the best.  Jean Carson, you’ve given me a home away from home; the Lake Providence gang, you’ll always be a part of my foundation.  A friend is very rare and you all have proven that you can be called my friend. I love you.
      To my producers, Elliot Kidd, thanks for the title track, On Broken Wings, Barbara & Vernessa Mitchell, Kenny Smith, the three of you gave me back something I thought I had lost with everything else; you kept my dream alive for me and I will always treasure your dedication.  Thank you for not giving up on me.
