Luke,

I imagine this might come as a bit of a surprise hearing from me seeing as how things went between us. I was talking to a friend and my wife tonight after my son went to bed, and people from our past came up. We happen to be going over names to see who knew people from each others past, that we did not realize we all knew. I asked if they knew you "I have actually thought about you a lot if you can be leave that, especially as of late." and they couldn't remember a face but knew the name, so I went to look up a picture. I found this blog on between the bars while searching you on google, Its sad to see you in such pain, it seems like you genuinely have taken looks back at your life and actions. I hold no Ill will towards you about any of our past and would like you to know this, I wish we could have bin friends all those years ago and shared our time and experiences together. I use to spend a good deal of time with your sister Florance "Flo", even had a bit of a crush on her. I know for a long time she to a degree followed in your foot steps and have wondered what had come of you two. I'm in the process of buying a house here in Wisconsin, the previous years have bin a long hard struggle for me and if you would like, I am more then happy to write to you and tell you what I have bin through and in tern would be grateful to listen to your own story. As of now I do not have an address I can leave with you to respond but will be sure to give you one as soon as I get moved into the new place. I can at the least give you a phone number and an email address to reach me at, I don't generally answer unknown phone calls so if you get a voice mail leave a message. I work 2pm-12am monday-thursday, and every other week on friday 2pm-10pm I have a day of overtime, this overtime ends beginning to mid April. I found two books on ebay from the company I order my books from that I bought for you and hope you enjoy. If there are specific titles of books you might like feel free to let me know, if you need something and I could help please ask. I know we didn't grow close but there's always time for things in life, I never wished you go through the things you have and are going through now, nor do I harbor any ill will. I honestly had always hoped we would become friends, you and kyle, yep, I still think of both of you. I will be tight on funds for a bit due to the house purchase, but regardless I will do what I can to help you. [REDACTED] or my email [REDACTED] the email has bin the same since 2000, goes straight to my phone.

Best wishes and positive thoughts,
Joshua W. Nielsen

wow I really enjoyed your poem. It is very inspiring. We all make mistakes and no one is perfect but when we come to God he does not look at who we were without Him but who we are in Him.

Thank you Michael... I am glad to hear you admit things were not love between us when we first met... I knew in my heart it wasnt especially when you & Glenn took off all night till the early morning with two girls ... I was stupid in love with the father of my baby who seemed to care less ... I forgive you because I needed to move on with my life ... It hurts still at times when you write about your love & devotion to me after all these years ...had you of loved me an ounce of what you proclaim now back before you got locked up ...then I could of seen us together raising our family & being happy ... But I believe everything happens for a reason & maybe it took this for you to actually love someone ... Thank you again for apologising...

Whoever JT is understands what I have been trying to say... Thank you ... Michael you dont have anything to worry about because I am their mom & I am raising these girls to love themselves & to be a friend to those in need ...however if that friend doesnt choose right then they really shouldn't be friends.... Jessica has made this choice several times ... She will continue to go thru things however I trust my daughter to do right because she can trust I will find out if she doesn't and it will be addressed ... What you should worry about is the .... Jessica can learn about you online... I am truthful with her because I won't allow your choices to be blind to her & her blame me .... Have not & will not... I did while she was younger but you have made promises recently & you have broke them.... I dont put up that from my girls what makes you so different ... You are a grown ass man who does things for attention ... Not from me & not from my girls ... You talk about her friend being a cutter .... You are a worse cutter & you are the adult ... You are the DAD .... You are loved but these are your choices & you are keeping your daughter away ... Not me ...remember that before you blast anyone else on here....

You really need to stop talking to my girls like that... They know things because I tell them some but not all... Jessica has every right to know what you are about ... And stop writing us asking for us to get friends or strangers to write &send you pictures... Jessica has middle school friends &I have been raising these girls to not talk to older men ...that is why when your friend called my daughter she never called him back.... I did...

Michael ... Your friend called me... I am sorry you feel I should write you more & believe me I would...however before I write you I look at your indindiscretions ... All 89 of them ... Self injury ...seriously! You promised our daughter & I that you were done hurting yourself .... However since December you have self injured yourself more then 3 times ... What do you want me to say or do ? I am so glad you have these other women to talk to ... The girls have been going through a lot & from what I see from your actions I cannot talk to you ... You really should have more self worth ! What am I going to tell our daughter ? Look we love & miss you but your actions are not showing you love yourself or anyone else.... Your daughter is a strong & loving little girl but she does not put up with much ... I am trying to raise both my girls to value themselves... They need good role models in their life... I am not perfect but I am Doing my best considring I am mom...dad & friend to these girls no matter what I keep trying to do better..they need to see you try as well... I am sorry if I have hurt you but to know what you are doing hurts us ! You are loved... Take care Jacquie
