what's up?!Here I do have some time on another computer. Did you get my second letter, Kelly? Well, i will number them, so you know if a lettere is lost. I could read very clearly your writing; I hope mine was the same? :-)
Your photo is here to see every day. My ex thougt you had something Indian in your features... and no arms.. haha... Well, you hide them so very good behind your back. Chucle.
Kelly, I've not that good news... George wasn't released. He only had 2 votes(judges are men and women)and he needs minimum 7 votes on 13 judges. I wrote a not too nice letter to his lawyer.
I heard they read my letter in the beginnnig of the paroling. Next letter will be harder, but ALSO thanking those 2 people who showed mercy and empathy.
Do they have sons? Is it all about vengeance? Can there be forgiving? Won't they have one day regrets for not perdoning a person that long in jail and able to be released in society? They have the "responsability" in their hands to give a man his liberty. Can they live with their conciousness, denying one's further life, while they have theirs? Can't they grant a couple to be having a part of their life and to be happy together?
Well, all subjects I will aboard next time. He has next year a new PB. But what's the gain, if most are the same judges!? His dad of 90 thinks he'll never will be free...:-( He'd like to die, only when he's out.
I read you have to go in the hole.... Why is that, Kelly? What is different then? Can you still write letters?
Tell me Kelly, is there a long time between our writings on your blog and you receiving it? How much later is that in time?
I will visit my daughter in California and next George, in Illinois. I am leaving on the 29th of November and will stay at Leslie's till the 19th of December. The 20th of December I'll fly to Chicago and am one day in an hotel there. Then the next day I am taking the Amtrak (train) and ride to Galesburg. I will visit him 6 days in December and 6 days in January. I can celebrate the holidays in America!!!
On the 10th of the new year I fly home.
Take very well care of yourself Kelly, help yourself and others!
Thanks so much for writing! OUCH. Since you hear so many put-downs in prison, I would like to shower you with some genuine praise, if it counts for anything: Your writing style is splendid! It's very clear and flows well. The expanded vocabulary is a nice touch as well. Great job forgiving this man and praying for him! You truly are a child of God. Jesus loved even those who persecuted him, and you're emulating that behavior spot-on. We all make mistakes, and perhaps that guard was simply having a bad day. Even if he continually makes them, and it gets really tough, remember the forgiving and loving power of Christ. As long as you remain morally perfect, you will have done nothing wrong. Like Socrates said, you can't hurt a good man (viz. Apology). And where there is goodness, there is excellence of the soul; and where there is excellence, there is proper functioning of the mind and happiness (viz. Republic). Only One knows the eternal destiny of all, so we shouldn't waste time on thoughts like that, you know? They are bound to pop up involuntarily, but we ought to block them out and focus on more productive thoughts. Sorry I didn't have time to get to your questions, but I'm exhausted right now. Keep up the good work, my man! Can't wait to read the next work! --Calhoun25
I really enjoyed reading this post. You're absolutely right that the past can't change but that people CAN. This is true in every aspect of life, but for some reason people choose to only apply it to certain people or certain situations. It doesn't seem fair or logical to not also apply this thinking for those who are imprisoned.
David, Thank you for responding to my letter so quickly! My mom has postponed coming to visit until the Spring. I'll write you a full letter soon (it's half done at the moment).
I don't really know what to say but I'm doing really wel I'm out of my residential treatment center and living with a friend. I'm finishing my senior year of high school, although its hard to get there every day haha I just got a job working with kids at a day care kind of thing. And I'm all around doing really well. Recently me will and Yash have been visiting the family, mom, Brandon,Justin, uncle John and I met Jon Jon uncle Johns son for the first time:) we've been going up there more often lately and it honestly feels like no times been lost. Whenever I visit mom she bring out some of the old pictures, which a couple of them had you in it but I learned a lot about our family. I am very interested in finding out more about you but sometimes when I read you're posts they don't fully make sense to me. Just because you tend to use big words haha. I always like seeing all you're artwork though. I feel like what I've gotten from reading your posts is that I'm a lot like you in the fact that we both have very strong opinions haha:) I saw a picture of you when you were little and were literally almost identical. Anyways can't wait to hear back from you. Hope all is well. -destiny
I am not Izzy. When I was asking around about you I ended up searching the prison's website and saw what you were charged with.
Izzy knows about it now also because we are still in touch and it came up when I was asking about you and then I told him the results of my search. I do not know what he thinks of it all because I know how close you two were and I hated being the bearer of such terrible news and didn't ask how he felt.
I saw photos of both of your sons on a networking website because I'm in touch with Jennifer also.
I know Japanese because I lived there for five years, it is tough.
Anyway, I think it best to end this correspondence with that. I wish I could offer you words of support, but I am not in a position to do so for obvious reasons.
