Florida State Prison, December 2010 My Darling Ava, I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am that the surgery went well and that you’re on the road to recovery. It must have been a scary time for you and how I wish that I could have been with you to hold your hand. I’ve been so worried about you and I’ve thought about you constantly. You are and always will be in my prayers. I pray that you find the strength to be able to kick this cancer in the ass once and for all, and I pray that you will be able to forgive me for being such a jerk. I’m so relieved that you’re now able and willing to write to me again. How much of an i***t am I? Well I suck don’t I? I feel selfish, spiteful and darn well mean. I don’t know what you must think of me, but you are at liberty to tell me so go for it,
