A Note of Thanks
Every writer needs someone who understands the quiet hours, the unfinished chapters, and the moments when the right words take longer to find. Connie Jean has given me that gift with patience, laughter, honesty, and love.
She has been my best friend in ordinary mornings, in long drives with nowhere in particular to go, and in every new adventure that life has placed before us. This small page is a thank-you for the life we continue to build together—and for the grace that lets me keep writing.
With love,
Dallas W. Thompson

“Where the Road Leads Us”
Coffee’s brewing in the early morning sun,
You steal the covers, and I know I’ve already won.
No makeup, messy hair, laughing on the floor,
And I fall a little harder than I did the day before.
Connie Jean, you’re my safe place, you’re my wild ride,
Walking through the fire with your hand in mine.
From a simple hello to a life built true,
My best friend, my love, every road leads to you.
And if tomorrow calls us somewhere new,
I won’t need a map if I’m riding with you.
My best friend, my love, my wife,
I’ll keep choosing you for the rest of my life.
