Dear Ruby,
Hey sweetie!!! Hope everything is going well with you. Thanksgiving is coming soon!! I absolutely love the holidays, not so much being here but being with family, wearing sweaters, eating food and listening to Christmas music. I hope you enjoy it out there. They moved the custody case to January for whatever reason.
Today marks 5 years I’ve been gone! It is sad being gone, but my life has changed so much in 5 years. I’ll be home really soon just wait and see. Do you remember Mike Snider? He is here now.
Donald Trump won the election and the republicans took the senate and looks like they will keep the house so I’m pretty happy with the direction the future will take.
I keep fluxating between 213 – 218 pounds, I’d really like to get to 210 but that may have to wait until I’m home and have better control over my diet. I keep hurting myself working out so I’m just gonna stick to toning up instead of lifting heavy. Turns out when you’re old you get hurt easy and take forever to heal.
My buddy got approved for work release, he will be leaving in a week or two. Hopefully by summer if I’m still here I can go too!
I have a feeling I told you this in a letter already but I can’t see my sent messages so I’m not sure.
I really miss you so much, it looks like your mom has asked everyone not to post any pictures of you so I can’t even see what you look like. I’m not sure what she gains by keeping us apart, it doesn’t hurt just me it is unfair to you. God will work good from it somehow.
I love you and miss you always and remember, God made you special and He loves you very much.
Love,
Daddy
