Pain has a funny way of rendering the most insightful of comments on life. It's sad that it took so much to render such a wonderful muse. I should hope that something good, some great work or triumph comes from your incarceration. I knew you as a boy, a child. We went through three schools together, and even though we were only closest in Elementary school, I've never forgotten you, or how sweet you could be. Become creative, great, and prove to the world you are something more than what the news paints you to be.
I have a beautiful painting that was done by you. I've had it since the day I was born, May 13th, 1996; 19 years later and I love it more everyday. It has teddy bears and gifts, it's pink. It would be an honor to meet you, it's a dream of mine. I have quotes from your short fictions and writing pieces that I've wrote all over my walls. This painting is absolutely stunning. So much talent in one person, it's remarkable. Xoxo.
First off, I would like to praise your writing style. It is very lucid and earnest. I once read an article about a young man who became paralyzed waist-down. He of course suffered for a bit, but then realized he still had life left in him. To paraphrase his quote: "You have to do the best with what you got." Now he's a successful, handsome doctor in great physical and mental health. His upper body is so strong as to allow him to perform "chair-ups" -- he pulls both himself and his wheelchair up off the ground. I believe good parenting, like good health, is about "doing the best with what you got". And in my opinion, by continuing to write so your daughter may read in the future, you are doing just that. Keep up the writing, both to her and this blog. We love to read what you post. --Calhoun25

Im happy for you that youve found some peace in writing. I was friends with Tanisha as a kid so when I seen all this happening on the news I was interested. I can tell youve grown alot since the incident and I just wanted to send you a little message because I know how lonely it is and everything is something right? You keep writing, keep staying strong. Keep blessing the world with your knowledge.
Hi Dymitri -- Glad you showed me how to find this resource. Your post is very compelling. No one should be required to live in this kind of environment. Once again we see how humanity's collective evil exceeds its individual evil. Got your long letter. It's excellent. Also I would like to use this post. No time for a long response. Will write. Be patient. jim
