Dear Heather,

Hi, How are you? You said I probably don't remember you and I think your're right. My memory stinks so please forgive me. It's been a long time and like I said to Rayna. I'm honestly surprised anyone ever remembered me. I remember hanging out with a girl named (Let me think) Juniper, and another named, (still thinking) maybe Jennifer Meyers, and A Julie (she did gymnastics), and I remember the name Buffy, also a tall girl named Lana. Well you didn't say we hung out as kids so maybe I'm way off base. I did make some horrible choices Heather and I have no excuse. I did not plan this nor did I want it to happen and I hope that people do understand that. Your message to me touched me because you see the potential. I have changed ~Heather but the state we live in just doesn't care. I have met men in here who have been here for 30, 40, 50+ years and they are just shells of a human being. I'm afraid to be like that. I am afraid to see another person I care for die while I'm in here. Or seeing my daughter hurt again and being powerless to help her. I do believe in Karma but sometimes I feel it is too much. The economy does suck out there and I laugh at Governor Corbett and President Obama when they were on the news 2 weeks ago saying how, together, they solved Pennsylvania's unemployment problems. I've never met a landlord who was okay with the rent being late, but my little brother did say that his landlord is so good, he's okay with it being a little late. So maybe they're 1 in a million. I make 19c an hour working in here, we get 4 hours a day. So no matter what job you have, you're doin way better than me! I wish I could move in with my Mom and Dad. I'd love to take care of them. You sing your name, Heather+J. What's the J? son? husband? boyfriend? Just curious. Have you looked at my profile page? You can go to my facebook page and see fairly recent photo's. My brother, Justin, he puts on old ones, new ones when I take some. I just took some when they came to see me on April 7, and I was smiling from ear to ear with Baby Lucy. Don't get me wrong. I was so happy to see my Mom and family but a little kid just has a way of making you forget your problems and a life filled with family, love and happiness. I want her to have what I lost forever. I hope she is serious about working and as for you, I think going back to school to be a nurse is an amazing idea. Then you can tell me how to fix all of my injuries when I get hurt. It's a great profession, you help people, and you make enough to live a decent life on. s/o go for it. Do you have kids? Well I've bored you enough for now. My address is on my profile page. When you're comfortable and ready, write me. Maybe send me an old photo to see if I can remember you. No promises. Maybe I was dropped on my head one too many times. Take care of yourself, go sell a car and thank you for remembering me and writing. I look forward to hearing form you again Heather. Remember, I do not have a computer. ?When you post a comment, it has to be mailed to me and then I'm given the chance to respond like this. You told me to keep my head up and stay positive, you have to do the same. What is your last name? CIAO
