Hello Cousin Donald! This is Cousin Terry Sue!! I hope you are doing ok. I am so sorry my mom, your Aunt Sharon finally sent me your letter so I apologize for taking so much time. I just received it in the mail today and I'm responding on the same day. I am so pleased I have this blog and your mailing address to write to you and I will. I am so sorry I have been a bad cousin and never kept in Touch, please forgive me. I was so happy when my folks told me they took the time and went and seen you. I am shocked about my dad, you know how stubborn he can be about his cowboy hat, mom said they made him take it off and checked it. I'm glad he didn't yell at them and leave. I'm sure seeing them both was a great feeling, like you said just to have visitors, and it be family. I don't ever get to California but if I ever do I will come see you too. So I will write you as often as I can, I will try once a week. I will give you the break down of all my families lives but a little at a time so we have lots to talk about. I will send the first one tomorrow. I hope I did this whole blog thing right and you do get to read it. I was so happy you took the time to write me a letter, made me feel special cousin. By the way, you have great penmanship!! Very impressed! So now that I have what I need to write you I will keep you posted. I'm not sure how often you check your blog but once I know that I will post on here as often as you want me to. I have a lot of questions about your prison term which I will ask in my first letter to you. You are the only person I have ever wrote to in prison or have known in prison. So you will have to help me understand how all this works for you. The outside world is fast and crazy but it's just life. I am sorry yours has been this way. I knew you never did this and we all knew you were innocent but like you said with no money and no real attorney someone had to take the wrap. The kid that really did this has to live with what he did to him, taking his live and what he did to you, taking yours everyday. God knows the truth Donald and don't ever forget that. I pray for you now and I hope you are safe. I am very lucky to have lived a very sheltered life from crime, well with a men Okie dad like mine it was just how we were raised lol keep me posted and I hope you receive this cousin. I love you and our whole family has you in our prayers, love your cousin Terry Sue.
