3 Years Left

- 3 Years Left -

I have 3 years left before I am released from prison. That has been on my mind a lot lately because 3 years will be here before you know it. I've been asking myself that question of what am I going to do. What kind of work will I do, will people look at me and notice that I've just spent almost 18 years in prison, will the food at those fast food restaurants taste the same, etc. I can't help but to think about all these things, along with many more things that I think of. One thing I do know with 100% certainty is that I never want to come to prison again as long as I live. So as you can see, although I have many questions, I am so ready to get out of here. I knew this day would come eventually, but the closer I get to getting out, the more I think about it. I have nieces and nephews that I have never seen other than through a photograph or picture. I'm sure that will be exciting also. Still thinking about what I will say to them. All those years I've watched them grow up through photos they would send me, and soon I will see them in person for the first time. Overall, I feel really good about all this. Especially when I consider that I went from a life without, to a life with the possibility of parole, to a possible parole in 3 years, or a sentence expiration in 3 1/2 years. Three years left, three years left. Later. Asante! Upenda Na Heshima.
