Thank you to Diane Trudeau. I would never have been able to get this book written under such circumstances. Shylah Sparks-Diehl for taking all the work off me while I got this done. Brian Feehan for making certain he was here every day to set up the pages I needed to write in order to hit the deadline. Denise for handling all the details of every aspect of my life, which was so crazy. Thank all of you so very much!!!
When my son-in-law first met my daughter, he began calling her his lotus blossom. He’s a hardworking man, but very artistic with a poet’s soul. I always loved the way he looked at her when he called her lotus blossom. It was his way of expressing his love. I gave that to Gedeon because he had no other way of expressing his growing love to Meiling or admitting his feelings aloud.
