Thank you for sharing your prison stories with me... It's a subject that is new to me and I seriously can say I had no idea on some things. I find it touching that many things that occurred you survived and in the same time remained true to who you are or whom you became, the Johnny I know. Its been a pleasure to get know you and I look forward to many more conversations. Your guidance alone in our talks have made me grow into a better person and has made me realize that things I may go through is a sunlight compared to the darkness that prison walls can become! I pray for you even when I pray for myself. Stay the way you are, you'll soon be out and we want be too far from each other, I'll talk to you soon!
hey dad, destiny here. im sorry I haven't been writing you at all Ive been going through a lot. I just got back to living with my boyfriend, johnny. I was staying with mom for a little while at her house. shes doing really well. anyways she has all these old boxes of letters and drawings from you to us that she kept all these years and im glad she did. I know you might have not made the greatest decisions in your lifetime but you loved and still do love us. and I think that is the main reason we all turned out ok. the love that are family has for eachother is something I will learn from and remember for the rest of my life. anyways I feel like I got to know you a lot better by reading those letters you wrote to us when we were just little kids. and I saw the picture you drew for me that you told mom to hang on the wall above my bed. thanks for that. well, I have a lot to tell you, first of all, your son, my half brother Michael isn't answering you just he went back to jail. im not sure what for but his girlfriend called me and let me know because he wasn't answering any of my calls/texts. And, big news... im 7 weeks and 6 days pregnant today. obviously it wasn't planned but Im with someone that ive been with for 4 years now and were willing to work hard to make a stable healthy life for this baby. I don't think I have the heart to give up a baby that I feel like I already have a connection to even thought its a little bit bigger than the size of a blueberry right now. I already have an endless amount of love for the little thing. mom was actually the one that told me to take a test, she had a feeling, and she was right. and then I went to the doctor to get everything checked out completely and everythings fine. johnny has suggested one of these days when we both have time, we want to come visit you. I really want you to meet the love of my life. and im glad hes willing to do something so bold you know? your kind of a scary guy in a lot of peoples eyes. but johnny is one of the biggest supporters of me going to see you. mom said she would come to see you with me if I asked her but im not sure if I would put that on her. you put her through a lot, and even looking back at old letters you wrote to her she gets sad, and I can see it in her eyes you hurt her dad, she forgives you and shes thankful she came out so much stronger and smarter but you did hurt her. I forgive you too. Im a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. and I have a wonderful life right now, and I feel so strong internally you know? like I can get through anything, and Im proud of myself that after everything ive been through, foster care, adoption, the rape, treatment, addiction, etc. im not damaged, or jacked up. im strong as hell. I can get threw anything. anyways I gotta go I love you ill write you again soon. love, destiny
