Suppah An apology I ’m a W arm Springs tribal m em ber who has relocated o ff the reservation because o f the trouble th at I ’ve g o tten into while I lived there. I m oved away to better my life b ut I find myself falling back into old be havior patterns because I’m n ot able to find a job. Right now I ’m looking for work and trying to get my head back on right. I ’m actually not writing this letter about myself, but to send out an apology to J.K. and her children. I would rather do it in person but there’s a few o f them that can’t stand the sight o f me. F irst o f f I w o u ld like to apologize to J.K. for all o f the things that I put her through due to my insecurities about Efe and I hope that she can find forgive ness in her heart tow ard me. Secondly, I would like to apolo gize to her children, J., M. L., L. Jr., R. and J., for almost taking your guys and gals m other’s life from you. I deeply regret what I have done and I am getting the help I need so that nothing like that will happen again. I just hope that you all can find it in your hearts to forgive me and find peace. O nce again, I apologize to J.K. and her children for all o f th e su fferin g I p u t th em through.

The house is full o f m em o ries, o f people that I love, and though they’ve long since passed away, I’m often thinking o f... A little stream b ehind the house, with water crystal clear. It sings it’s little song all day for everyone to hear. A rocking chair that’s old and worn, sits just outside the door, upon a porch that’s falling down, for I can work no more. And w hen it’s time for me to go I hope that G od can see that litde house that’s made q f logs is where I ought to be.
