Hi Billy, Such a nice surprise and what a good way to start the day. Thank you so much for calling. I just read through all your writings that are still available on your blog. Congratulations on your two year sobriety! Quite an accomplishment. You can be proud. Keep it up! Your translator did not understand your quote about what Jesus said about gay people so he/she just omitted the whole sentence. Too bad. Maybe try again some time. It's such a good response to those who use the Bible to bash us. I'm doing fine. Not to worry about me. I have such good friends that help/support me when needed. CT and bone scans this Friday to find out what's happening inside. I'll let you know. I think i'm in good hands at the UW Cancer center. Talk to you later.
Thank you so very much for writing! I completed the transcription for your post. The story was very sincere, and I really enjoyed the comparison with Jesus. I hope everyone in the world can learn to love themselves and be proud of their blessed gifts. I also liked how at the end of the story, you alluded to baseball, which was mentioned in the beginning. Keep up the good work! Can't wait until your next post! --Calhoun25
You will always be their Dad. In the age of the internet, it's so much easier to reach out. Just offer what you can - even if it's just what you say in these posts. When you offer what you can - it's enough - because it's all that you have.
I don't see how you can "know" her mom and DADS vices. You have never met her dad and have not seen her mom in 7years. You are listening to a man who when you were out you hated. He has even lost the privilege to have contact with MY children. If you loved these kids so much why did you not attend the custody hearing? Why when the child support came about you quit your job? Their dad has provided them with everything you failed to do. So since you felt you had the right to advise our child (ours meaning mine and my husband) I will have to work harder to see she can't access this site. You gave her bad advice Johnny and as far as i can tell you of all people should not give life tips. If you had listened to people who cared for you for longer than a couple months you could see all of your kids. Also Don't forget who you were when i was your wife. And yes I'm aware of our "boo boos" so there is no need to talk of our past. So if you can't say something nice don't say nothing at all.
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
Perhaps the bird you saw was a racing pigeon on its way to the finishing line, and outside your window looked like a good place to rest for a moment? Who knows! Perhaps indeed it was God. In any case, I'm glad you are able to find the smallest pleasures and gratitudes in every day life, even in prison.

I think it's good to trust your feelings, but important to question them, too, and think about your intentions, motivations, and past experiences.
I believe that no one, no matter what they've been through, is 'damaged goods'. Try to view yourself as a survivor. Focus on the humanity and small blessings you still have, and try not to dwell on what was taken from you. Easier said than done, I know.

That's love: offering what you have.
Because it IS enough. When you give all that you have, that's love.
