Letter from a Convict - Have Faith Son
11-10-03 - Not giving up the plan of dealing drugs for a living, my father tried to reach me once more.............................
My Dearest Son,
Be patient, have faith, trust God, not the world. Only God can give you true happiness or life. Only God can show you how to be confident. When we don't have God on our mind, we become depressed, dark, and lifeless. We turn to drugs, alcohol, and false things. Learn to know the God that is within you.
Follow my instructions. I'll never lie to you. You are doing great. You are just impatient. Keep learning, keep praying, keep knowing that I love you. Your mom, brothers, sisters, and everyone who knows you, loves you.
Our family is the one most important of all things. If we let life break us now, we will fail. No offense, but your mother separated this family. Something I shall never forgive her for. My daughters hardly speak. Three of my children were allowed to quit school. I would of never, never allowed that to happen. My boys were all but abandoned, I can only thank God that he gave you three boys the love, to hold and stay together. I (and you) must always keep ourselves together for life.
If you know how much I loved you and your brothers. If you could feel the real love I have for you, you would cry from all the deep feelings with a joy. We must never fail each other. We must strive and work to be better, to be wiser, to enhance our minds and hearts, we must learn, study, and pull together to be better to be a family.
We are a family. Never bail out on us, none of us should never give up on each other, but continue to love and honor each other. We can do anything. We are one. I'll be home soon. Wait for me and have faith in me, in yourself and in God. Keep your brothers close to you all the time. We will build together.
We will have a nice home, a family home, the "B" home. Sunday dinners, a life together, a real family. Understand? Nothing has changed, only time. Mom made her choice, that doesn't mean that us boys stop being a family or a unit.
I live for you. You are my heart of hearts. Without you son, I would have no reason to go on living. That's what you mean to me.
I never taught you to do wrong or to be evil..I've always taught you the right things. You have all the right tools to be a great person. And you are kind, considerate, and loving. I will not see you contaminated by assholes with only evil in their hearts.
Stick with "S" It's a base, a home, and she loves you. You are safe, you have a roof over your head. You have no bills, no real worries. Take this time in life to look within yourself deeply. To know yourself, to understand, to purify your mind and emotions.
You are not broke, you are not alone, you are not on the street, your loved and you have the world as your future. Do not leave "S", stay there until I come home.
At which time you and I will begin a great life, finally. Just trust, son.
Stay safe - ask questions- read the paper and don't look back in the past too much. If you are looking back, you can't go forward. It's time you and I went forward. I'm proud of you. Keep me informed of your business and how it is going.
All my love, son
Dad
Needless to say, I didn't stick with "S"
I didn't stick with the business either.
