Dear Ruby, Hey sweetheart!  I hope you had a good Halloween, can you believe Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away?!?  I’m so ready to be home eating a big dinner with family, next week I’ll know if I’m able to be home for this one. 

Well, your mom and I had court the other day, it looks like no matter what I’ll be home before this gets resolved.  I’m sorry it didn’t get done sooner, I really wanted to be able to talk to you on the phone at least.    On a lighter note, I saw your mom at court, are you about to be a big sister?  That could be exciting! 

Those dirty democrats took back the House and Senate.  People have no patience anymore, they expected Trump to be able to solve the mess left by Joe Biden overnight.  One thing this time has taught me is patience, that and gratefulness.

You really gotta count the little blessings you have, from extra hours of rec to something new on commissary to the people who are keeping you from being hungry to family building you a home to live in, another getting you a truck, and another a fancy new phone.  When you focus on the good instead of the bad life is much more joyful.

Thankfully, my relationship with God has given me this new perspective and strength to do so.  I wanna go bowling, do you like to bowl?

And remember, God made you special and He loves you very much!  I love and miss you beyond measure.

Love,

Daddy
