Dear SAH

Okay - I love you too, my fellow fallible human being, grandmother of two teenagers. And I hope you enjoy your steak and baked potato if I'm ever executed. Ut oh, I almost spelled potato with an e on the end. And as you may recall, our Vice President Dan Quayle did that. Which just shows even highly educated college men don't always spell correctly. I think I do a pretty good job under the circumstances. I mean - I wish I had a better education, I wish my ability to learn was on the level of the norm. Unfortunately, it's not. We can't all be blessed, with all things.

You left so many negative comments I don't know where to go. Just remember this, I did NOT kill Ronald Willis. I didn't try to stop it, and that is something I will always have to live with. 'Cause that, on my behalf, was a coward punk act. But I was also drunk, had I not been, I'd have never went along with it. Which is why I hate alcohol, and I believe it's the main drug, that should be ILLEGAL.

Mistakes happen, we're all fallible. And I hope one day you're not visiting a loved one on death row, and having to reflect back on what you wrote here.

But there's no hard feels. I wish you nothing but the best. Please take care. Have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

In peace + love, Ronnie :)

THAT was a really good answer, Ronnie.
Could imagine that it wasn´t easy to answer such comments that way.
Thumbs up!!!!!! :-)

Always remember the texts you sent me in one of your last letters; hating others is like drinking poison and expecting that the other one dies of it.

Again, really good answer.

"Always remember the texts you sent me in one of your last letters; hating others is like drinking poison and expecting that the other one dies of it."

Isn't that statement a bit hypocritical when you read Mr. Clarke's verbal vomit regarding former Warden Reddish and his "henchmen"? Every post is full and teeming, seething with his animosity.

Hello SaH,

absolutely agreeing about Ronnie´s hateful postings about Mr. Reddish.

That´s exactly the reason why I didn´t expect him to write an answer to your comments which is not in that style.

I know you don´t believe he´s able to change (at least that´s what I understood of your other comments - correct me if I´m wrong please).
Maybe you are right with that, I can´t know that.
Neither do I know if he really felt what he was writing here.

But I wanted to try to encourage him to continue more in this way than in that hateful manner. If he doesn´t - well, he´s adult and has to decide himself how he wants to continue. But it´s worth a try, in my eyes.

The quotation is one he really sent me and he sometimes wrote postings on his blog which asked others, especially Christians, for more forgiveness and less hatred.
I can only hope that he - at least one day - understands that this demand is valid for him too.
That´s why I wrote "always remember the texts you sent me...".

I hope I could make my posting a little more understandable.

Have a nice evening! (....at least, it´s evening here.)
