Most Precious Princess Prisha(?)
My beloved daughter.
My most precious near and dear only child.
I pray that your praying. Prayer helps our hearts to experience God. (He just gave me
that praise God) 1st off let me be the first to tell you Happy 19th and 20th birthday. I did
not forget this special day of yours last year. I was planning to send things but ran into a
road block. You see 3 letters that I had written you in August and September. A week before your 19
birthday came back to me, return to sender :( So I didn't have address to send you anything :(
Crushed to the core I was too hurt too continue. Discouragement is something else, sorry I knew
my coming to prison and being here your whole life hurted/hurts discouraged you in the worst way.

I don't know where you are, location wise, but I know where you are relation wise, you are my heart
and soul and spirit
I love you.
I AM WE
I pray this birthday is the best yet. That God blesses you and surprises you more than you could ever
imagine
see
Ephesians 3:20

I see parole and have an opportunity to come home to you. Please, please keep me in prayer begin God
to bless me w/favor in the eyes of the board. Lbvs (thanks for teaching me that) still believe in God that this
about to be over. Been 20 years and 14 days. Ouch! One dreamed 3 times that I did 20 years. Amen. Know these
dreams were/are from God Almighty. (Yes he still speaks through dreams ) Amen. Know I didn't give the dreams to
myself. I'm not that smart plus I didn't want to do 20 years, been wanting to go here since they said "freeze". Does
that make sense? Will keep you posted on the results just confessed a moment ago that we serve a Lord of
RESTORATION. Amen. God will restore our relationship to Garden of Eden size proportions. So bid of Lord. I can't
wait. Whenever you are continue to carry yourself presidentially. It's who you are.

My life's been uphill for the most part, even though I had unfortunate liberty of burning my left foot on September 5th.
Ouch. The blisters altered everything about my life especially how I walked. Had on so many bandages, padding, etc.
I couldn't even properly tie my show. I got 10 days off of work, guess I needed that. Did a lot of thinking doing that
dime. Mainly how to bounce back and some of what am I.

Some say at parole? Like how will I and the question "Why should we release you?"

Beyond that been spending more time with God so as to fall in love with him AMEN. After all
it's his fault I'm the mature, loving person that I am today. Plus he hasn't abandoned me nor left me hanging
all these 20 years. Even when I missed the same (?) or was sick or broke, or didn't smeall so great :)!
He's the one that's been taking great care of me (Mathew 6:33 Luke 12:32) Learning to see, appreciate
and value his heart for me. Does that make sense? He even blessed me with a spiritual mother. I needed that. Lord knows that in my life- love has been hard to find, be around and let alone experience. The fact I
wear mt heart on my sleeve, made it worse. But God, has given me a new heart that's yearning to love and
be loved. I know that makes sense.
What else? Been doing more writing for the fun of it :) Plus I feel compelled to "Teach" people the
knowledge God has blessed me with. Amen. Got a book I wrote available for free download/ reading
on the internet. www.prisonfoundation.org The book is called Bless the Lord O My Soul. "Search" for it
under my name. It's been a big help to me in my relationship with God and I knew it will be a blessing to
you and yours as well. So be it.
God blessed me today as a staff member asked me if I wouldn't mind mentoring another young man on the unit.
Viewing it as an opportunity to let God reflect his love for "Nick" then me, so be it.

Just heard a brother in Christ mention twice. "I talked to my daughter all morning (on the phone)"
all teary eyed. I wish that for us. (But, not in this circumstance necesarily) Always praying for freedom and to see you face to face and express my love for you. While looking you in the eye. Upon my release I plan
to just hug you, take a bathroom break, then hug you some more. I imagine my bottled up in finally unleashed
water works will mess up your pretty hair. Forgive me in advance. Thanks. Yup I got it all planned out.

Hello, I just read your beautiful letter to your daughter, and I loved it. It was so emotional for me to read, I literally cried while reading it. My father is serving serval years in prison, and never calls or writes.Your daughter is extremely fortunate to have you-I hope she knows this. I am looking forwards to seeing your book on amazon. Thank you for sharing your letter. God bless you, and your family.
