Dear Courtney,
I hope you are happy and healthy as you read this. There is no need to apologize to me for not writing back sooner. I'm so very thankful and extremely happy that you did write back. I love you and want you to know that I am very proud of you for graduating high school. I am just as proud of Casey for getting his G.E.D. Your mom graduated and of course I got my G.E.D in county jail way back on 96 or 97.

Courtney that's crazy that your favorite song is April 26 1992 by Sublime because I don't think your mom remembers this but on April 27 1992 your mom and I were in class and the teacher had the news coverage of the L.A. riots on the T.V. your mom was sitting on top of her desk and I was sitting in front of her on my own desk and we were talking about how crazy the riot was and stuff like that. I thought your mom was the most beautiful girl in school. I really liked her but I didn't know how to tell her how I felt about her "I was afraid of her rejecting me." I never thought I would ever have a chance in hell to be with your mother but the bell rang for us to go to our next classes, your mom leaned over and kissed me on the back of my neck and walked out of class. I was stunned and in that moment I knew I had a chance. Every time I hear that song I think of that day, and I swear I can feel a pair of lips on the back of my neck.

Courtney I would love to get pictures of you and Casey. Please send me some. If you have any pictures of your paintings I would love to see some. Here's the address
Roland F Stoecker Jr. p56837
CCI D-8-65 up
P.O. Box 608
Tehachapi, CA 93581
If for some reason this address doesn't show up on my blog call Jessi Pie and she can give you my address.
Courtney, your mom is going to be so pissed at me for writing to her house. I've had the Arizona address for about 6 months and I've fought with myself concerning writing to you at that address or not. I had to write to you and Casey and hope you would give me chance to be in your lives. I struggle with two main emotions concerning my children I've abandoned shame and guilt.
I'm sorry things didn't work out with Aurto nut I hope everything works out with the young, dumb and hopelessly romantic love you find yourself suffering from. Speaking of love I can't wait to see pictures of my niece, I hope to hear from you soon Courtney. I Love You
Love, Roland Stoeker Jr.
