Hi everyone, this has been a very frustrating time for me so I just wanted to vent a little.

I am trying to get another transfer to a prison that's just 15 minutes from my parents, but no one seems to be willing to help. They pretty much told me I used up my 1 favor to get here & that's that. Some people are willing to help, but they have no real power or authority in here so their hands are tied. But I won't give up. I went on a letter writing campaign asking family, friends & associates if anyone knows of any Pennsylvania politicians. If politicians call the D.O.C. headquarters asking questions as to why they won't move me to see my dying mom, they would probably move me. So I am exhausting all avenues. I am now asking if I can have an educational transfer to that same prison in order to do any vocational trade program that they have to offer. We'll see what happens.

Let me ask yous about Facebook. My brother recently made mine public so anyone can see me with the puppy dogs. But there are people on there who have sent me friend requests that I don't know. Men & women have done this, but they don't contact me. So what's the point of it? I just don't get it. Why would you request someone, then they accept & I never hear from you? Kind of strange. I know most people are on computers & not regular mail, but I don't have Internet access. I only had it put up so people can see the photos I put up. I don't know what my brother & sister have done to it, but I wanted people to see another side of me. Not just my crime.

& now we'll be getting puppy dogs in this prison. They will go through obedience training before they go to a specialized training center in the outside world. These dogs will be trained for the blind, deaf, & PTSD dogs for wounded warriors. As much as I would love to be a part of this, I must decline because I am actively fighting to be transferred so I can see my mom. But I'm sure the prisoners who are selected to be dog trainers will make the program proud.

If Meagan Brown is reading this, I am not sure if you got my last letter. But I haven't heard from you lately, so I hope your move went good. Look forward to hearing from you.

And what about you, Marianne Danielsen? I still wonder why I haven't heard from you.

I learned today that my brother Justin lost his job. He has been heartbroken & depressed since he found out his girl was cheating on him. Now she is moved out & he is a mess still. He is struggling to move on. But his attitude & depression came to work with him & it affected his job. So now he is unemployed. I really hope he can get it together. I'm worried about him.

Tell me how crazy is this: my sister Dawn has 3 kids. Ronnie is 17, Jordan is 13 & Richard is 11. Her boyfriend Rich, his mom recently died of cancer. Dawn was very close to her. But her boyfriend used a part of his inheritance & bought a big boat. And from what I'm told, I do mean big. My nephew, 13 year old Jordan, he went online and took some tests and somehow legally got a boating license. He is 13, cannot drive a car but has a legal license to drive a boat. And he's good at it from what I was told. I don't get to see my nephews anymore, but I want them to have an amazing life. I was watching the NBA draft a few days ago, and Ronnie has the chance to be a part of that in a few more years. Kid is that good at basketball.

The last thing on my mind: a man, Ebed Delozier, and his wife allowed their baby daughter to die from something as simple as an ear infection. The doctors told them if they refused to give her medicine, she will die. They chose to pray & they let her die. A senseless preventable death caused by the people who were supposed to love & protect this little baby girl. The husband was given 1 day to 23 months in county jail; the wife was 23 months probation. They knew this child would die if they didn't have her treated, but they chose to pray and let her die. This happened in Bradford County, PA. This sickens me. What makes it worse is no one seems to be upset that they allowed her to die, and they got no punishment for it. The news isn't even saying the baby's name.

If your child is ever sick, do what's right and take him or her to the doctor. No child deserves to be neglected by a parent and left to die. A parent's job is to protect, raise, watch over, keep safe, provide for, mold, guide & love their child no matter what. These parents failed. Don't fail your child like this. My heart breaks for this little one who is no longer alive because someone taught Delozier & his wife that prayer heals over actual medicine.

That's all I got for now. Take care, take care of your kids, stay safe, the Zika Virus is in the USA> Plenty of bug spray! God bless, ciao.
