Solitary Refinement Chapter 16

Dearest Elizabeth                                   December 12th 2017

  So it’s been awhile, a long time actually, and I still haven’t heard anything at all from you. You’re mad at me I know but I really need to see you and the kids, I’m not doing so good in here, it’s not safe for me. I know you’re upset but can’t you forgive me? Can’t you remember why you ever loved me and take pity on a man who misses his family? Do you even miss me at all?

It’s Christmas soon and because a lot of inmates have gifts they want to send to people they have arranged to let us mail some small gifts to our families. I have some small stuff for the kids, stuff like colouring books and gift cards to the toy store because the selection for me to choose from is so limited. Please let the kids have them this time. I have been working really hard to make sure they at least get something from me even if they don’t get to see me.

    I’d really love to see the kids, could you bring them to see me before Christmas? I want to hear from Nina what she thinks of the snow this year and if she’s got to make a snowman yet, I usually did that with her. I want to hear from Alister how he is liking school. Is he doing well in school? Are his marks good, is he making friends, have you met his teacher?

    I just, I’m having a really hard time in here, I’m not sleeping, I got hurt recently and there’s a few people that are making me really worried and I’m stressed out all the time. Please respond or visit, anything, just so I know you’re reading these or that you care at all.

Sincerely,

Your husband.
