I owed.the state o f Oregon 13 m onths and now I’m almost finished with it. I told my family that I was going to m ove away for a while, b ut I wasn’t planning on it to be like this, because I really thought I was done w ith th is life. T h is tim e around I earned some cer tificates fo r em ploym ent, h o u sin g , fo o d h an d lin g , money management, how to be a better father, uncle, etc. I learned a lot o f things that I never even knew about life in general. Hopefully, I will do better out there this time. Johnson N. H eath Sr., no. 8975683; D eer Ridge C or rectional Institute; 5920 E. A shwood Rd., Madras O R 97741. Nowadays I would like to express the shivers I felt upon hearing this song, and it reminds me o f atwai Bird Bruce-Kalama, w hom I called m om for a while. The song is called The Crow and the Butterfly. I painted your ro o m at midnight, so I’d know yester day was over. I 'p u t all your books on the top shelf, even the one w ith, the four-leaf clover. M an, I ’m g e ttin g older. I took your pictures o ff the wall and w rapped them in newspaper bagging. Your words still serenade me, your lullabies w on’t let me sleep. I ’ve never heard such a haunting melody. O h, it’s killing me, you know I can barely b reath ... just like a crow chasin g a b u tte rfly ,. Dandelions lost in the sum m er sky... I never thought you’d slip away. I guess I was just a little late... I just wanted to say I love you and miss every single person that has left me and the precious few who can put up with me nowadays. Love, C h arles T . H ello n .
