      AUTHOR’S BIOGRAPHY

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      First I want to thank the Lord God Almighty for my assignment to bring this story to the world. The spirit of the Lord said that millions will be blessed by Chelby’s story.

      Next, I want to thank Chelby’s immediate family, Roy, Chijuana, Chantel, and Chayse for their support and allowing me to use their lives to encourage others. Sometimes God gives us an assignment which may at times be very challenging, but He sends us just what we need. Thanks to James and Lucille Anderson, James, Jr. and Lynn Anderson, Merco Parker, Shirley Singleton and Verla Emery for their grand support.

      A special thanks to Johnnie Sanders, a very phenomenal friend and advisor who was instructed by the spirit to coach me through to completion of this book. I will always remember how you continued to be the encourager that you have always been. Thank you, Johnnie.

      Finally, a very big thank you to my sisters and brothers in Christ, many friends, co-workers and associates from the east to the west coasts who prayed; never giving up on what God has for our baby girl and The Lessons of Chelby. THANK YOU LORD!

      SPECIAL

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

      Dr. Dale Swift

      Pediatric Neurosurgeon

      There are no words on earth that could express our gratitude for what God does through Dr. Swift for Chelby and others. I remember her first stroke. Our family was extremely concerned. Not knowing which way to turn or what to do, I called Dr. Ben Carson’s office at John Hopkins University Hospital seeking help. I was told that he was not handling pediatric AVMs. A colleague of Dr. Carson asked me the name of the surgeon working with the baby. I told him Dr. Swift. He stated that Dr. Swift is the best in the NATION. Praise God, He had already given us the BEST. Thank you, Lord and thank you, Dr. Swift.
