Dearest PriceFirst, I want to give thanks to God for this awesome charge to write. This is a first for Agape Voice Publishing LLC and hopefully will set a trend. I was hesitant about this piece because at the time of gathering information for the project, I was ging through a painful divorce, was displaced and depressed. I didn't feel love in my life. The date of release continued to be set back as several passed away before even seeing the project complete. Then with the onset of COVID-19 and racial uprising, I truly felt like giving up. I had entered another relationship, that didn't know how to show love. I just couldn't find a way to release this piece. It was not until I forgave. I had to forgive my ex-husbands and I hold onto what was beautiful in both of those unions. I had to forgive an ex-lover, or this project would never see completion. I just had to forgive. And then one of the most important individuals in life my died. This person that showed their love every time I was in their presence. Yet, God showed up for this transition and whenever God shows up, love shows up. Gathering these stories taught me that God is always present and that I am an anthologist. I would like to thank the couples and authors that participated. Thank you for your transparency, patience, and commitment to the process. Many rejected or ignored the call, but these couples stepped out to create extraordinary works. It is my desire that this piece blesses you all as much as it blessed me. I would like to thank the many contributors. Without your seed, this project would not have been possible.

Lastly, I would like to thank my Daddy. He my mommy and I know God has such a love for me. I pray for healing for all the families who have lost loved ones during this season.
