You must think me a mad man.

You are my first love. Your smile, a close second.

One of the things I would do when I hadn't heard from my mother in a while was to ask her for a book of stamps. She mostly would always send some right away, and I would always get a note or letter from her. That was all I wanted to hear from my mom. I love you. Thank you for the stamps.

You are my light here in this infinite darkness.

James, my brother, a memory: we would ride in cars with no seat belts, riding on the headlights of that '36 olds. I love you, big brother.

Happy Birthday Maria. July 21, 2011 ❤

My love to Aunt Alice. May the stars always share for you. ❤

Cousin Ginny, thank you for the blog comment. Thank you for the letters. Thank you for being such a great granddaughter to my Aunt Alice. :)

Hi, little sister. ❤ Thank you for loving me. Thank you for the letters and blog comments. ❤ Someone's out there. I love you. ❤

Cella, Ted, Tony: can your brother get a note or a card? Write something on the blog. :) ❤

Nothing sounds better than lounging on a beach with my Jeannie. ❤ Forever + ever ❤

Family and old friends are on my mind. There is still time to make more great memories.

Between the movement of the brush between my fingers, and the thoughts of sharper and colors, I am conscious and alive.

You are the cream and sugar in my coffee. ❤

I could sure use a book of stamps. :) ❤

hay big brother,

i hope everything is alright with you i still haven't heard from u. my sad news is that i will be here until sometime in october, which means i will be gone 1 year before i get to go home to stay. but randy keeps saying that it will be over soon and at least i'm not locked up this time.

well nellie is going to show me how to make cake cookies, sugar free so i can eat them. i will be waiting to hear from u soon i hope.

love your
baby sister
