You did it!! I am sooo proud of you.. Keep doing what you doing to stay focus on the positive side... Although, I may seem a little distant at times, but please always know you will always be KING at the end of the day. God is going to take care of us one way or another for you to come home and be with me and the kids for a lifetime of happiness... What everybody thinks or say well you already know how I feel *they can go kick rock* only God can judge us nobody else.... I love You and Miss you Deeply..
"Those who put a leash on their desires become frustrated, bitter, irritable... and that's not who they really are."
I really like that thought. I'd like to think that that's the reason all people are that way... and as I think about it, I can't find a counter argument.
What about when others put leashes on one's desires? How do you counter that? Do you think it creates a separate kind of pain?
Perhaps the worst is when we think someone else is stopping us, so we seek external solutions, or resign ourselves to our fate, when really it's up to us all along.
I read this blog to my mom and she laughed- said it sounded just like you. I'm glad so many people have posted their support on this blog. It sounds like you were (are) a fine, and well-respected soldier. As an update, we had our daughter Amira in May. She is doing very well and growing very quickly. I hope to keep in touch despite being busy with our new edition. I also forgot to leave my name in the other comment - Katrina.
It's fathers day and coincidentally, I'm just getting to this blog today... what made me smile today... our 1 year old was sitting on the floor in her play area with her legs stretched out in front of her. She placed a plastic cup on each foot, smiled at me, and began kicking her feet together to make them bang loudly. She looked at me again to see if it was ok, and then she just went crazy banging those cups together with her feet. To her this was the most amusing entertainment she could've found all morning. I know you're missing a lot of those moments right now. I'm waiting for the day you get out and can have those simple experiences again!
Joe - Salutations! Not everyone is ignorant about what is going on behind bars in the USA. This is a crisis of Morality and there are more and more people who are sitting up and taking notice. The DOC foolishly allowed shows like "Lock Up" to be made thinking that this would be a source of "good" publicity for their acts of barbarous atrocities. It is backfiring on them. Even though every show has been edited and sanitized to make them look like the good guys. (The Nazis tried a similar thing and look where they are). What really happened is the thinking world reeled back in shock and horror. Evil will out. I have no real words of comfort except to say be brave and strong. There will be an end to this - I hope soon.
Yours Always,
Regell

That was good. I liked it.
