Special Dedication to Germaine Marie (Roy) Parker

It is not uncommon for a mother to read to her children, but my mom and I read to each other regularly until I moved out of the folks’ house my sophomore year of college. While one was busy preparing dinner, setting the table, doing dishes or laundry, the other would read aloud for both to enjoy together. We read (and cried) through all the middle grade and young adult classics and many more works of fiction and a few nonfiction. My wife and I continued this tradition, reading to each other and with our children.

 

I was thankful when my mom attended my theatrical performances and plays I directed, but of all things, I was blessed to read some of my stories to her before she passed in the spring of 2023.

 

Reading, especailly to others, has been and continues to be one of the great joys of my life. One of many gifts of love from my mom. And though she may not have enjoyed some of the stories I write and narrate (she read a daily devotional and loved mysteries, detective and historical fiction), it is to Mom that I dedicate all my authoring and narrating efforts.
