My Father
So i wrote my father in prison last week for fathers day, and he wrote me back today... The first exchange we have had in over 8 months, he wrote as follows:
Hey Son,
How are you doing? It was good to hear from you, it has been a long time. I have been thinking about you alot. So you have gotten a new job, do you like it? Do you make more money? I hope you do son. Take care of yourself, ok? Do not get out and get in trouble, stay at home. I hope you go and see mom and dad sometimes, I hope to be with all of you some time soon. I miss you very much and love you. Son, i know you don't make much money, but if you can some times, send me a little money to help out if you can, if you can't that is ok. I doesn't have to be much, but it will help. Son, i have been talking to a girl, she has been writing me in here. Do you have a car to drive yet? Son, keep writing me, that makes my day when i hear from you. Thank you for the card, I like it very much. Write me back soon. Don't let it be a year or two, ok? Keep in touch with me, Son. I will write you back soon, Son I will be looking for your letters day after day, I hope you can read my writing ok. Son I have got to go. I love you very much, I hope to see you soon. Son, i did not want to ask you for some money, but i need it, $5 or $10 is all, ok?
Love Always,
Dad
P.S. Call Mom and Dad or go see them.
This hit me pretty hard, so i felt i would share it... Much Love, Shook
