Reck,

Hello my friend..been so long. Found these stories that people were posting on Facebook and laughed and laughed as I read them. Seems like an eternity ago. Not sure how this works but if you can give me your info somehow, I will write more. Let me know. Hope you are doing as well as possible in there..I haven't been back in almost 10 years now. I still see Godzilla once in a while, Jimi lives across the valley from me and I haven't been by there in waay too long either. I actually heard from Midget about 3-4 years ago, but nothing since. I also ran into Crow about 15 years ago at all places an NA meeting (no longer a member but still "clean") I didn't recognize him at first but noticed that this guy was staring at me a little too much. Thought he looked familiar but couldn't place it. I watched him cause I didn't like the stare and at the break I was standing outside with a friend when staring guy came walking up and casually lifted his shirt in front everyone standing there to show a HUGE scar and asked if I remembered him. I dropped my jacket and said "what's up Crow?" ready to sling 'em. He put his hands up and said "No! I have no hard feelings!" He tried to talk to me but a couple of my homies had moved closer around and that was the end of that. Never saw him again. I have to correct you on one thing though..don't you remember that when I stabbed Crow, it was because I thought he told those bikers that we ripped off where we were holed up? Remember the ones that chased us from Selma up to 18th street parking lot on Cherokee and Yucca and when you ran through the fence you hit the bar on the top? Oh man! I remember hearing that bong! Any way..if you are able to, get me your info. I have wondered many times over the years how you were..sorry I didn't reach out sooner. Take care my friend..you have been missed out here.
Love and RESPECT always,

Hi, Jeremiah. How's it going? Is your mailing address still the same?

Brother Xray whenever I think of my grandmother's funeral, I think of how encouraged I was to see you at the organ that day. I haven't seen you since and a lot of life has happened for and to each of us in the time that has passed. I just want you to know that your presence on that day offered comfort in a time when I felt like my whole world had been upended. Losing my grandmother was for me the loss of my anchor. I like to think I have finally recovered from that loss (nearly 20 years ago), but I still miss her and even shed the occassional tear when I recall the safety and security of knowing I could always go to her. I just want you to know I am grateful for your presence and your voice on that day when I had no voice, only tears. Change is neither spare nor sparing. I wish you well.

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.

Sincerely,
Paige A. Sullivan

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.
