Writing Bud...

Once Bud was released we continued to talk a lot. He called me every day for the first 3 weeks he was out.

After that he didn't really call that much, i thought it was odd, but just let it go. Not too long after that i found out that he had started using drugs again right around the time that he stopped talking to me as much.

Once his Probation Officer (PO) found out, he was sent to rehab, which he left. Leaving violated probation, so he had a warrant out for his arrest.

After leaving, he was missing for a bout a week, and i drove up and down the streets looking for him. Finally we found him and a couple days after easter he went to jail.

Now that he is in jail we still talk, paying 6 dollars to talk for 13 minutes is worth it though. He calls me everyday, and always seems to make me smile.

Through everything he has been through, he is an amazing kind-hearted person. He realizes he messed up and wants to work on turning his life around so he can pursue his dreams of going to U of M.

Bud changed my life for the better. All the stress and worrying was worth it. Writing him back was one of the best decisions i have made.

I look forward to staying friends with him and for him call me tomorrow!

Writing Bud...

The 7th of January he wrote me back!

He told me more about himself and about where he came from and that he was a good cook.

The more i talked to him, the more i got to know him as a person and not an inmate or a criminal or some random person in boot camp.

as more letters came i started to develop a friendship with Bud, and for a while what felt like maybe more..

Writing Bud...

During winter break, a couple days after Christmas, i remember my mom coming in with the mail and saying

"Doll, i didn't know you knew a bud*********"...

i didn't...

At first i just thought that Joe had borrowed an envelope from someone like he sometimes did but when i opened up the envelope and pulled out 2 letters i was confused...

"Hey Beautiful!"

it read...and as i continued to read this letter i had never been more flattered in my life...

"I saw your picture and i had to write you."

He was so nice and friendly. He told me about his case and where he was from and little things about himself. 

He also told me that with his letters was B.Y's and that Joe actually didn't know that they were writing me that i was to keep it a secret...

At the end of the letter Bud wrote,

"P.S...I hope you don't think this is weird me writing you. My bunkie says it iid because I don't know you, but If I seen you anywhere I would talk to you, and since I can't call you or talk to you face to dace so a letter will have to do."

I know it was weird, but i was more flattered than anything. I wrote back that night sprayed my letter with perfume and sent it out the next morning...
