Well, I am not as selfish as my sister to request entries devoted solely to my wonderfulness. After all, why say what is already known? You might have been first, sis, but they got it right on the second try.
That said, our family is many things. Interesting, yes. Terrifying, sometimes. But most importantly, loving and supportive. It's strange to look back and see how our circumstances have shaped my life. Without my dad's incarceration (no doubt the worst experience of my life) I would have never grown bold enough to pick up and move across the country, away from nearly everyone I know and love.
But this test has taught me that I can survive anything, including living in Washington (I'm not sure where WHASHINGTON is--if that's what's in South Carolina's geography books, then it's no wonder our education system rates so low).
I'm still proud to be your daughter, Daddy. After all, without you, I wouldn't have my love for fantasy. I can't wait to see your future posts. Love always (from your second-but-the-best-born), Jo
hey dad its william i just wanted to let you know the kids are sent away and wont be able to right back. destny an yash. yash is in a rehab right now an destiny is at an all girls school. if you want me to tell them anything just write me. but anyways. yes a like the crest i might add a little bit on to it if you dont mind. right now im taking care of my girl we have 7 more weeks tel our son is born. we both get lil nervous but exciting at the same time. as for me im missing my siblings an praying for them that they grow into a better person. i cant help but feel responsible for it all. i say this cuz they where great kids. tel i fucked up i got into selling drugs an sent away for awile. when i came back they already began on the road i was on. it hurts to see my best friend destroy himself. hes a smart kid yash. i failed as an older brother i feel like. familys everything to me. id die for my brothers an sisters. both destiny an yash have made the choice to do better though it was there decision to leave an get better. destiny was just starting to mess up bad an she realized b4 it was too late.
My role in Joe's life is the greatest one I am his Mom I am so proud of him and what he is doing on the inside. He is a special man and as Shannon said we are so blessed to be part of his life. Joe is a wonderful man who loves his family and friends very much. I too am looking forward to your next post. I love you. Mom
Hey Bill, It is me(the poor me, poor me, poor me a drink guy.)brother Michael. Don't know if you'll get this missive, we'll see. Are you doing better since we last communicated on the telephone. I am. Anyways thought I'd take a minute and try to reply since I'm not sure how to do this. so here goes let me know if you got this. Respectfully Brother Michael
Stay strong always. One of the most difficult things to experience in life is the moment realization strikes us and we see for ourselves that the things and people in our lives aren't what or who we believed they were. Your opinions do matter, but offering them to someone that disregards them using the ruse of their false self proclaimed superiority, is a wasted effort. "Men are quick not to try." Really? It's easy to not see the single tree if you're busy looking at the entire forest! Keep your faith strong! NMW, Lord Dennis Fountain
Well, we Gaillards have a way of making sure things are never boring! God has grown us all so much and used our circumstances to reach others. It is a life i never thought would be ours, but we are still family, for better or worse. I am so fortunate to have grown up in a home full of love, support, and happiness. It is a solid foundation to raise my own son. My one complaint is that I have been grossly underrepresented in this blog-I look for future entries to be devoted solely to my wonderfulness. Make sure that happens...love always, your firstborn, Faith
Joe and I have been friends for 24 years, give or take.We taught me what I know about the game of pool.Still have the stick he sold me for $3 he picked up at a yard sale.
Joe is kind of my "therapist".It helps me writing out what happens to me during the week. And believe me, all kinds of stuff happens to me.
Mr. Joe, it truly brings tears to my eyes to hear your words. Although the years at NGU with Faith and i as roommates has been sometime, I still smile when I think of the memories we shared! I will always love your family and the way y'all made me feel like I was apart! I pray for you often! Amy Flynn :)
