I read my latest letter from Bobby last night. What the heck did I read???

First off he doesn’t address me by my name or even the nickname he likes to use but instead he calls me a prison slang name. I was annoyed - not because he called me a name but because it was one that I had not heard of before and I actually googled it!

You have GOT to be kidding me?!?!

I just received another email from Vincent Rivera. It is nice and polite. He wants to make sure that I got his first message. He is concerned because I have not written him back yet. Really dude? (ok probably not a professional thought or phrase but I am being real)….

So the decision has been made. I have stopped asking for opinions and advice. I have decided that if Bobby Joe wants me at his execution and if the State permits…. I will attend. With that behind me, I can focus on whatever interaction I have with Bobby for the next three weeks.

Today is commencement for our students and I always love this day. Our students are amazing individuals so I plan on devoting this day to them and will not focus on Bobby.

I will not rob myself of this time nor steal time from the students by pondering why I haven’t received mail from Bobby. Done with him for the day….

My phone just alerted that I have new JPay email. FINALLY! I was beginning to wonder if Bobby has written me off and is no longer speaking with me. MAYBE, he prefers to spend his remaining time with those people who send him the salacious photos he continually asks for. Regardless, I have mail……

WHAT!?!?!?

Today was so busy that I didn’t have much time to ponder what was or wasn’t going on with Bobby. I admit that I did mention/complain about it in passing my the whole MCubed posse. Everyone is supportive of this process and wondering if I will get the opportunity to see Bobby before his execution. Will he still be interested in having me attend? If so, will I decide to go or not? I have no idea.
