Yeah. He did do somethings I am sure he ain't proud of. Our daughter is about to be a year old and I honestly don't I will ever be able to tell her where he is. Neither of us have went to see him cuz I don't want to bring a baby to a prison. He also is in Connecticut. Did your children Always know you were in jail. The father of my child only got 4 years and he got arrested May 13 2015 so I am hope that I never have to tell her where he is right now. He went from serving our country to serving time. I honestly just can't see him like that. And I hope some day he will understand. Not only me but for our daughter. I don't really want to bring her to prison. I know he has a son to and I know the woman don't even let him see his son but I aint trying to keep her away from him just don't want her to see her father like that. Around this time of year is hard tho I will always have love for him cz we did have a baby together. I wish you the best. And I hope your sentence isn't that bad. I know jail ain't great but your making the best out of it. Thank you for getting back to me Rich.

Dear Otis, thank you for sharing your story, your anger and your heartache. It seems very wrong to me to lock so many people away for so long. I learned today that almost 1% of people in the United States are in prison, and many of them are black men. As a society, I know we can do better than that. Keep sharing your thoughts & feelings, and know that there are people on the "outside" who are listening. Best wishes, Christine

My love - never give up - never lose sight of the goal. This is, ultimately, a fight you must pursue for yourself - and win for yourself. Before you can completely love another you must learn to love (and forgive) yourself. It's a long, arduous journey but the rewards make it worthwhile
I love you - before, today, and forever.

Hi, Timothy, I'm an English professor, I teach poetry, and I feel great respect for the power of these poems of yours. The poems and your profile give me hope for you as you face the unknown. I'm wishing you, step by step, just what you need as you find home.

Dear Timothy,
Thank you for sharing these stories. I value your words and it's important for me to be reminded of the realities that you, and others, are facing. I'm glad you can find an outlet in music and in writing and I hope you can please hold fast in the face of temptations of addiction.
Brett
