“Peas and Tanks” is a fictional story inspired by my daughter, Payton, and my son, Coleman. They truly are best friends, and he adores every piece of her. With these two children by my side, I have been inspired to conquer all things I never thought I could. Thank you, Payton, for inspiring me to become a better person. I would not be where I am today without you. Nonetheless, nothing is achieved without the blessings of God. I truly have been blessed at every turn in my life. I hope you enjoy the story. Thank you again for letting a part of my life become a story in yours.
