Hey Everyone….So at the beginning of the week a bulletin went up stating they are opening an GROW unit, with the idea that it would be an honor unit for people programming, short to the house (40 months or less), and not shots in the last three years, and programming. I did not apply because I have 16 years left, far more than the 40 months or under. Yet a unit manager asked if I filled out an application and when I said no because of my time, I was asked to fill one out anyways. They are looking for some mentors for the men getting ready to go home. Today I was excepted into the unit and will be moving tomorrow. This is another milestone. MY only mixed emotion is that Matthew (the disabled guy I companion) is not going with me (as of yet, but I am working on it hard). I hate to leave him, he has become a huge part of my daily life. I sat down and explained it to him and he seems to be ok with it, assuming it is only for a few days until he comes too. All-in-all, a good day. Friday is Matthew’s birthday and I arranged for a couple hundred guys to be on the yard in the pm to sing happy birthday to him, I am excited to see how he responds. Also, I was able to speak with my daughter Felecia for the first time today after her having her first child. Was a blessing to talk about the emotions she has of a new mother. I am also blessed that I have you all to share these winds with, and appreciate each and every one of you.
