Dear Ruby, Hey sweetie!

I hope you’re having a good day, I just got back from court.  Your mom’s lawyer found a way to get the court to continue it even longer. 

It is so frustrating, Pie.  I keep doing the right things, I keep helping others, I keep living in ways that I think would make God pleased with me, yet things still go against me.  I have been denied work release, I was denied the EDSC good time, I wasn’t able to take another CBT class while in his Rehabilitation Program, and they keep delaying making a decision on us being able to talk to each other.  One of the ladies tell the judge you don’t want to talk to me and I just can’t believe that is true.  I have to tell myself to breathe and think of all the good God has done in my life.

I know I’m doing the right thing and I’ll keep fighting to be a part of your life.  I just pray you are reading these letters and you’ll forgive me for being taken from your life.  I also hope you know I want you and your mom to be happy.

Today was one of the hardest I’ve had to deal with, but I know God will get me through.  I love you and miss you very much!  And remember, God made you special and HE loves you very much.

Love always,

Daddy
