Hey Alvin! It's Misty Belcher! Mom & I just read your blog & we also recently recievd Jacobs letter! JAcob was here and got to read it he mentioned that there was nothing in there about his bday coming up so we told him Theres probly aother letter coming for him before then. When theyve wrote u in the past ive sat them dow and had them reply to your letters its hard to get them 2 slow down but when they do, they love to talk to you! As for over here My baby shower is next sun the 29th and me and mom are stressing over it :), Rusty won his race last night but me and mom stayed home the temp was 109!! I take the kids to the lake every weekend and sometimes mom joins us, we always go to West Burns Run but the other part East Burns Run got shut down this weekend due to the algae that was a problem and makin everyone sick last year, so, we are hoping they can do something to controll it where we can still go! As you probably know Jacob will be 9 on the 5th of August so Rikki set him up a party at the Splash pool in Sherman (the old Fairview tha now has slides and stuff) on Aug the 7th a Tues from 530 to 730 she is getting him a biycle and a angry birds cake and mom is most likely getting him some school clothes and maybe a few things becuase we buy him alot of toys and then he breaks them and all he plays with is hot wheels! Do you know about when you are coming home yet?? Mom & Dad are asking so they know when to start getting the truck ready for you to be back in Sherman. Well, we will wait for your reply this is pretty awesome of them to set this up for you WE CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO BE BACK!!! LOVE YA !!!
This seems to be happening a lot more frequently these days. I guess it's because I'm older and so are my friends. I do not like the feeling of mortality's breath down the back of my neck.
So I'll be flying back east next week, unexpectedly. I did think that perhaps I might work something out to visit you, but there's just not enough time this trip to make it happen. Perhaps on some future visit.
It happened so quickly. I still have her voicemail on my phone from June 22nd where she called to let me know that she had just been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and that she was being admitted immediately into the hospital for aggressive chemotherapy. She passed away yesterday.
Her name was Candy...but I knew her by her IRC nickname, Kali. We met in 1996, online in a chat room and then later, face to face at an IRC meet in Toronto. She lived in California...and I was in New Hampshire, so it wasn't always easy to see each other, but we made a point of criss-crossing the country at least once every couple of years to visit.
I introduced her to Toni...and they hit it off as well, so when Kali died, it was only natural that Toni reached out to me immediately. We started with tears...and ended with laughter which is our way. The two of us are most definitely our mother's daughters...unable to maintain a respectable gravity for very long.
We've been very fortunate...all of our siblings are alive and healthy...and we dread the time when that changes. In an effort to put in our request early, we've decided that the two of us will have to pass away relatively close in time. I would be devastated by the loss of her...and because the two of us are so very much alike, if I died before her, then she'd miss me as I would her. The only solution...we agreed...was for us to live together when we are very, very, VERY old and senile. This way, one could die...and the other wouldn't realize it for a while. Conversation might be rather one-sided and there'd be a small issue with body odor....but there would be none of the grief.
Oh...and it has to be in our sleep. That was another thing. We're both kinda wussies about pain.
Yep, I'm still reading your blog, though I know I don't comment on it like I should. A lot of times it seems I don't have anything good to say. But I do talk to you more than anybody else back home, so that might have something to do with it.
I missed talking to you Sunday. It's a habit now--I make sure my phone's turned up and wait for your call. But it sounds like you've been locked down a lot recently. It's okay, I understand.
This is a very touching story and I feel for you. I have never lived anything like you have except drug dealing. I just read your blog and thought i'd write back so that you would know, someone read your story and feels for you. I wish the best for you, your family and your soul. Keep making positive changes and keep your head up. Feel free to write back.
Whats up Lonnie B. I just read your blog post and can understand many of the things you went through. The streets are never easy, and the homeboys offer a way to feel loved and cared for, but sadly, lead to many hardship and pains.
P.S. I hope that all turns out well between you and your friend and that you find out she is okay and nothing is horribly wrong. It can be crazy out here in this world for some and I hope she is alright. Only you know which side to lean toward- something being wrong and you not knowing whats up OR you being forgotten and totally ditched for a reason you cant even find out. For that I am sorry. You seem like a very funny, humorous, sweet guy who is just looking for some kindness in this cold world. Im sure when you find it, experience it, its hard and hurts alot when you lose it and have no idea why. So Im sending my best wishes to you that things will make sense soon and your friend will at least reappear and let you know she is okay and what happened. You never know! (smile) Take care and Ill be reading here. From C.C.

Keep your head up
