This is Jeff Murray, your childhood friend, and later on in the 80s, your fellow church friend. I thought about you recently, and thought I would write to you. Just a friendly note to say "hi". Let me know if you get this message.
Freedom- thanks for sharing this online. I would like to include this in the play I discussed with you previously.
You already gave permission to use something you spoke about in class.
I hope this is OK. Your writing and experiences are very powerful and will help educate others, to humanize those who are incarcerated, and to lead to justice and corrections reform.
thanks again for being a leader who is very articulate and an excellent writer.
I'm well thanks. Firstly I'm sorry for the very late reply. I'm a student and work has kept me busy. You're childhood family get to togethers sound really intimate and wonderful. I have been lucky as well to have had that sort of closeness with family friends as part of a large Indian migrant community in the U.K. I hope that one day again you'll be able to reunite as a family like that and these difficult days will seem far away. Is your mom doing any better? Don't worry about keeping on making mistakes. Just never lose sight of a better tomorrow and keep making small changes to your actions and you'll arrive at forgiveness. No one is damned forever. In the end we're all just human and flawed but we have to keep on moving forward even though we can't see where we're going to end up.
All the best, keep well and have a Happy Christmas and a better New Year.
