Dear Grace,

Belate Merry Christmas to you! I hope that you had a good Christmas. My Christmas really sucked but I am thankful to be alive to see another Christmas and another year 2019. I'm sorry it's taking me so long to respond back to you, I just got your comments tonight. I don't know why it took them so long to send your comments it's crazy.

I can't say how you feel about your parents' divorce, because I never had to go through anything like that. But, I will say this move forward and stay strong from the things that you cannot change because everything take place and happens for a reason. So don't put the blame on yourself, move forward and stay strong Grace.

Now you say you haven't been studying for your G.E.D, Grace, study for your G.E.D. And get it while you're young for real, don't let anything get in your way from getting your education.

Will let me take some time out and answer your questions.

1) I'm more of an introvert only when I meet someone face to face for the first time.

2) I would change not being so lazy and I'm working on that now.

3) I would be the best parent a child could have, they could talk to me about anything without any judgement.

4) Will I have a lot of favorite songs and here is some of them for you.

That's just some of them if you ever get a chance check some of them out and let me know what you think.

Yeah, a lot of my poetry talks about love and what, I done been through in my past. No, I don't have no girlfriend, I guess there isn't any that want a man in prison. By the way thank you a lot for your email address as soon as I get out within a week or less, I will be hitting you up. I have some questions for you.

1) Are you more of an introvert or an extrovert?
2) What kind of parent do you think you would be?
3) Where do you want to be at with your life from a year, from now?
4) What's one thing you like about yourself?
5) What are some of your favorite songs?

I'm glad that you love the poem that, I sent you. Thank you and I love your poetry as well. Grace you write great poetry and that's a fact and you don't have to take my word for it. Do you have a Facebook page? If so, put about 7 of your poems on your Facebook page and see what kind of feedback you get. It's not a stupid ambition, girl stop thinking like that and put your poetry into a book form and, I think CreateSpace.com is the best site to self-publish a book.

The poem you wrote about your dad that is untitled, I like and love it, it is dark and deep and baby girl keep writing and don't give up on your gift and however start studying for your G.E.D., don't give up on your education.

I hope you had a bless Christmas and New Year and hope that, I hear back from you really, really soon. You're strong, you're very important and you're cared about always.

P.S. The same time you get this, it will be a list of 64 songs on my post that, I like and love that you may or may not want to check out.
