      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Letters to Mum

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      No More Midnight Tears - Arketa Williams

      Acknowledgments

      First and foremost, I would like to thank God for blessing me with the ability to express myself creatively and everyone who supported me as I strived to make my dreams come true.

      In memory of my mother

      Shelline Williams

      November 18, 1955-September 10, 1995

      To my dad Elijah Williams thank you for all your love, encouragement, finances and continuous support along the way. It was greatly needed and welcomed.

      To Joslynn and Tyra, my big sisters, who have gotten up out of their sleep in the midnight hour to listen to my stories, poems and tantrums. Our three-way conversations were both humorous and enlightening. I love you both. Thank you!

      To my babies (my nieces, nephews and god children) Elijah, Sarah, Kenneth, Breanna, Angel, Tiana, Airyana, Symonia, Ezell and Sakena thank you for all the laughs, stories and cheers as I rehearsed for poetic concerts and performances. You were the best audience anyone could ever ask for and the most encouraging. Know that everything I do I do in honor of you! I love and no matter where life takes you I’ll be there to support you 200%.

      To all my spiritual family, thank you for not allowing me to quit and throw in the towel when I got too tired to keep pressing on. Thank you for your prayers, wisdom and long conversations to keep me on the right track. As well as all the venting sessions we had. I love you all. Some of you have really been my angels without wings and you know who you are. (Smile)

      To my girls, my aces and my closest friends. Erica, Shamora, Iaisha, Porsha, Nisha, Aisha, Gloria, Crystal and Robin we have shared memories, stories, tears and

      successes. You each hold a different place in my heart but are all equally special to me. Thank you for all your encouragement, time and assistance in a wide variety of dramatic but entertaining situations. I love you all!!!!

      To my aunts, uncles and cousin’s thanks for all your support. Many of you have been my greatest inspirations.
