I never walked in your shoes but I followed the path you took! I wasn't in your boat when the storm struck but I was on the same ocean. Thank you for showing me that people (you) can and do change. We not only need people to remind us how far we've come, but sometimes we all need a reminder of where we're going! Regarding your mother, let me say this. Death is just as important in life as living. It's not our lives that live on but what we created with our life. You were created with that life and as long as you are alive, your mother will live on within you. No more restless nights, OK! NMW, Lord Dennis Fountain

hello craig this is brandon from corona, ring a bell? wow how life has changed for both peter and yourself. well im sure you have your own side to the story but i sure miss the good ole corona days!
You asked about Toolshed.com in a previous blog: Toolshed.com is the web address for Toolshed Technologies, the brainchild of Andy Hunt. He is a programmer turned consultant, author and publisher. He has authored award-winning and best-selling books, including The Pragmatic Programmer and six others, including the latest, the popular Pragmatic Thinking and Learning. Andy was one of the 17 founders of the Agile Alliance and authors of the Agile Manfesto; and co-founded the Pragmatic Bookshelf, publishing award-winning and critically acclaimed books for software developers.
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
