I'm so sorry about your momma, and I'm sorry that your dad isn't getting better. At least you have these good memories with her. It wasn't all bad, right? It doesn't help with the loss, I know. But I hope you will always treasure them to keep her alive in you. It sounds like from this vent that she lived quite a life. There's probably even more there that you can keep close to your heart.

Could you ask your family members to send some of her possessions to you? Or a picture maybe? Hope they can do that much.

Don't give up on being a better person. Keep faith in yourself too, no matter hard it may seem now. You may never know when something will come along to lift your spirits up.

I will go a little further.;)He has a window!And sees trains go by.A pot of flowers at the front door.A life in prison is so sterile and he appreciates therefore small things.He now is in a 'room' with Bulldog, one yr younger than him: 67.He had 2 strokes in the past,and since the prison doesn't spend any money to rehabilitate him; Illinois is broke!,George will help him to let him to read and to write again.Noble goal,I would say.;)He wrote:'I am not a fighter,but a lover'.Although he's an activist.For a long time.In a sense I see a lot of common things with you, Robert.Helping people.You two would go along very well,I guess.I'll write to him your words. George is still in contact with two of his friends who were transferred.There is always a way to do that.I am pleased to hear you still see the dogs.They give so much joy.Do you still work in the vegetable garden?Can I send a book to you?In a package?In paper?A book I have or should it be by a company?What kind of books you like ,Robert?Every other prison has particular rules,I know!Glad to hear you can watch television and listen to your music player!Music soothes the soul.:))

Should go to sleep now. Stay well, I wish you all the best and a big hug from Rita!x

dear Robert,I heard the sad news today, August 25 by Melanie of your mom dying... I sent her a message for you.You will get it soon.I feel so enormously sad because the hospital let her die...How is that possible!While a hospital has to "save" lives.Here people do everything to rescue people in need!Your brother was responsible for her well being, you were powerless, and yet he did nothing to ease her pain and help his own mom!Unbelievable.:o Couldn't your dad do nothing to avoid all of this, I ask myself? How can your brother live with this on his conscious?Robert,I wish you so much strength for the time to come and may the good memories live forever deep in your heart.She was there for you and you were there for her as best as you possibly could.I am glad you could at least give her some calls when she still was here.People,who left us are still among us. They are only at the other side; we can talk to them and grieve and they hear us, Robert.Be sure of this. She now is in a better world.She will give you the necessary strength to go further in life.You are a worthful creature and you made already in the past the important turning point in your life to be a good human.People around you will benefit from it.:)) Giving love creates love.I read that people survive and see nothing besides money.George tells me the same. I had sent him a book: 'Evicted'.He told me he knows that part of life. His family was one of them: poor.George as you do,does small changes;it's his world for so very long and he can't look the other way.:o Some are courageous men.They do what has to be done.Whatever it takes! Don't have regrets, Robert;all happens for a reason,and when we do our very best,we know we can't do more.It should be enough.Make of everyday the best.Which I know you do.:)I stay at your side and I know Melanie is there for you too. Good you gave her address.May God bless you in many ways.-smile I was at the coast lately,caring for my grandchild Lynn,of 3 and a half.Mom stayed a short week, while I stayed 10 days.The weather was nice.Lynn and me did lots of activities!She jumped twice on a inflated sand castle.My sister Joke(=Yoke)came to visit us, when mom was still there. Also my friend, Kathleen came a full day and we went out dining for lunch.She had to drive an hour and a half to see me.We had a picnic on our big towels, built a sand castle, decorated it, had some food and later saw children fish with their nets crabs and shrimps. They threw it back in the sea afterwards.:)Just plain fun!I drew with a shell a big sand girl in the wet sand for Lynn; she had to hold a bucket in one hand and an ice cream she brought to her mouth as well. ;)Lynn talks very well.We played high up in our bunk bed shadow puppets with our hands and told stories.The night light at the wall made that possible. She loved it!
Each single morning.Thanks for praying for a good visit this time with George.He now is placed with older inmates; the young are rough!x Rita

Muise is a parasite. He continues to think criminally and pose as a "victim". He is fat and lazy and instead of working in prison he caused trouble. Now he wants to scam working people and his "friends' to support him. Get off your fat ass Muise and support yourself.

RE: "All the accolades being given to MLK, vs. Malcolm X. I think that, maybe, just, MAYBE, it's bc, in my opinion, MLK seems to be more of a "Peace-loving man than your "hero" was. Again, that was just my opinion. Malcolm X seemed to be QUITE angry, in MOST of the interviews they showed in that movie, I think I mentioned to you previously, "I am NOT your negro". I only watched that bc of your love for the man. I just HAD TO learn more about the man you referred to as your hero!! You'll LOVE that movie when you get to see it, someday!
Your FOREVER-Friend, Chrissi 😁

Dear Kelly, I hope this notice finds you well...
as you lost your quotes book, and I also love quotes, I send you some of an author I love, Max Frisch. A swiss man.

“Technology... the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.”
― Max Frisch, Homo Faber
“Time does not change us. It just unfolds us.”
― Max Frisch
“A joke is a good camouflage. Next best comes sentiment... But the best camouflage of all - in my opinion - is the plain and simple truth. Because nobody ever believes it.”
― Max Frisch
“To write is to read one's own self”
― Max Frisch

warm greetings
Julia

Hi Jennifer,

Warm greetings,
Julia
