Dear Troy! Thanks for sharing your experiences. I would like to send you some positive energy by giving you a comment. I know from a friend of mine who is in solitary, how hard this is and how much every single sign from the outside coming into these walls means.
I read all your posts on this site. They are very touching and well written. Keep on writing! and
Keep being strong! I wish you all the best.

I do believe it is not an excuse, it's what was happening to you at the time. I forgive you, and one day, hopefully, we can have the father daughter relationship I have so desperately wanted. We did have a normal childhood, surrounded by ones we love, the whole Stoecker family.:) My fondest, and most wonderful memories are in the Cabrillo mobile home.Grandma Judy in her mumu sitting in that one specific spot,watching her shows,smoking her cigs and doing her crosswords. Grandpa Roland sipping on a beer, smoking his cigs in his specific place, by the front door..while all of us kids ran a muck around the park.:) I do feel comfortable, you're not some monster, you're my father..Your blood runs threw my veins. Misty did one hell of a good job raising us,if I do say so myself. She entilted us to always be honest, forthcoming and to speak our mind. Well, how do I begin..My favorite color is hot pink, my favorite type of books are mystery/crime; My favorite author is Stephen King..amazing books!We currently live in Arizona, and have been on and off again since 2005. I graduate from High school in October, and then going to Golden West College, in California, to become a Marine Biologist..My life long goal,seeing as I grew up on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and I would like to learn more about the ocean. :) I have a boyfriend,Aurto. Casey is getting his GED the first of June. Your son also has a girlfriend, he has been with her now going on three years. Oh, and Misty is 8 months pregnant with twin boys, exciting!! :) I would like to come, if possible sometime, to see you in person.
Well, that's enough babbling; hope to hear from you soon, I love you.

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.

I found the slut-shaming that went on during Amanda Knox's trial both disgusting and disturbing. What relevance does her enjoying sex have to whether or not she killed her roommate?

Here i am back.

Before writing you a letter, I will read what you wrote on your blog. I can tell you are a spiritual being, Bob.

Letting go, yes... it must be wonderful to experience it. We force too many things, but all has it's natural flow. And by searching and studying it, you've discovered it more in it's grand essence.
It would be very nice to be able to discuss it, eh? :-)

So you are a student and draw. Paint. I do find it a very beautiful watercolor.
I don't know if you can give an answer on the blog? I guess you can.
Also seeing some more of your paintings would be nice!:-)))
I can tell you i am myself an artist. I took 7 yrs in an Academy of Arts. Drawing and painting oils. We Flemish were oil painters. Van Eyck, Van Dyck, Rubens,etc...
Later on, living in Ohio, an American teacher taught me watercolor. He's 90 now and still teaches art to 2 groups of adults!
I painted with gouache, and colored inkt as
well.
In Buenos Aires and now in Belgium I did exhibitions. 21 paintings are hanging right now in a clinic nearby.

Bob, I hope we can talk in some way from our mutual lifes?
Have a nice day!

Here's a saying for you: 'Love in action is the force that helped us make it to this place, and it's the truth that will set us free'. -Susan Taylor-

friendly greetings from Rita
