I apologize for not writing for so long. Things have been hectic. I did recieve your last letter, and I enjoyed it very much. I will definitely send you something soon. I hope you are doing well also, and that you had as plesant a Thanksgiving as possible in your position. Because your last letter included so much info and a few questions which required lengthy answers, I've tried to sit down to write you back and I've had to can those letters to start over for one reason or another. But, I really just want to get back to you, so I may not comment on everything from your last letter or answer everything you had asked, just so that I can get something sent out. I really am not trying to be ignorant towards you. And, I will get around to all your answers over the course of my next few letters. Thanks for reaching out to me via this sight and I'll be in touch with you again shortly.
Did you hear from your mom in the meantime? I hope so.
Just maybe express that a little different. "I got one letter which wasn´t from the person I wanted to hear from" - could hurt the other one who wrote you. Just express it another way: "I got one letter. I hope to hear from my mom too, I´m worried about her" - or something like that. Don´t combine those two things. Hope you understand what I mean. (Especially as in other blog entries you were sad when you didn´t get any mail at all. ;-) )
About your heart breaking when women sit in prison - well, mine breaks whenever a person is in prison because that means that there has been a crime before. Would be much better if we didn´t need jails at all....
But as long as women commit crimes too, I don´t see any reason why they shouldn´t sit in jail. There are horrific crimes that have been committed by women - should they be allowed to without punishment just because of their sex? Sorry, can´t agree with that.
Hey Ronald i like the painting man it is very nice i wish you could sell them to make you some money that would be nice you seem like a good person we all fuck up i no i have and still do i am addicted to pain pills im sick when im out of them but im trying to do my best but yet i am getting nowhere real fast hang in there man i want to read many more blogs from you your friend john
Robert, I think you know what this means to me. I have lost a daughter forever also. My sadness is as yours. I'm sorry for your loss. I miss your words of wisdom, many from a heart broken as mine. I'm sorry that life is not fair. Your letter is beautiful. I miss you. Regards, Two Dogs. (aka Dos canines)
Here's another by the same author, from about the 1800's:
"DIVISION OF PROPERTY" Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Some sailors were starving at sea On a raft where they happened to be, When one of the crew Who was hidden from view Was found to be feasting most free.
Then they cursed him in language profane, Because there on the pitiless main While the others did starve He could ladle and carve, Eating food which they could not obtain.
But, said he, 'tis my own little store! To feed all of you would take more! If I shared 'twould be found That it would not go round -- And you all would starve on as before!
It would only prolong your distress To distribute this one little mess! The supply is so small I had best eat it all -- For me it will comfort and bless!
This reasoning sounded most fair, But the men had large appetites there, And while he explained They ate all that remained -- Forgetting to leave out his share!

"DIVISION OF PROPERTY"
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Some sailors were starving at sea
On a raft where they happened to be,
When one of the crew
Who was hidden from view
Was found to be feasting most free.
Then they cursed him in language profane,
Because there on the pitiless main
While the others did starve
He could ladle and carve,
Eating food which they could not obtain.
But, said he, 'tis my own little store!
To feed all of you would take more!
If I shared 'twould be found
That it would not go round --
And you all would starve on as before!
It would only prolong your distress
To distribute this one little mess!
The supply is so small
I had best eat it all --
For me it will comfort and bless!
This reasoning sounded most fair,
But the men had large appetites there,
And while he explained
They ate all that remained --
Forgetting to leave out his share!
