Dear Ruby,
Hey sweetie! I hope you’re well; can you believe it is the second week of May already? If school isn’t out yet it will be soon. Do you have any plans for the summer? I believe this was your first year at Oakwood, if so, did you make some new friends? I hope you like your school.
I started a new class today; it is called drug intervention. I’m hoping it gives me a better understanding as to why I make the poor decisions I make. I imagine it will help me with my plans to stay sober, just another tool in my sobriety toolbelt.
I wrote your mom’s lawyer with my proposed parenting plan. Hopefully we get this sorted out so I can start talking to you soon.
I can’t remember if I told you in the last letter but I got my security level lowered to a minimum status. I’m also approved to transfer to Jacksonville where I can get a lot more good time and maybe even and outside job. Only downside is it is dorms instead of cells. I will be closer to home though and a lot less creeps there.
Uncle Andie is home, I got to talk to him a few times on the phone. I know he is so happy to be home with his kids again. I found out today that Fat J and Sam had their twins today! I’m really happy for J he always wanted to be a dad and now he is not only a stepdad but has 4 little girls of his own. I do not envy him though lol, sounds like a lot of stress.
I really hope you’re excited to talk to me. I’m super eager but secretly I’m scared. It has been a long time; in my heart I know you still love me but I worry if you’ve been told time and again that I’m a villain. I think you would see through that lie though. I trust God to make sure this all works out how I hope but I also trust Him to help we adapt to His will.
I miss you so much Pie, and I love you with all my heart.
Remember God made you special, and He loves you very much!
Love, Daddy
