HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'm sorry we couldn't make it but I love you and wish you the best birthday ever. I love you lots. And I will make the effort to talk to you soon.
I LOVE YOU!!!

Sorry I haven't been on lately because I have some pretty important stuff going on in school. I had a D in reading but I have already brought it up to a high B. The thing that makes me laugh is that the words above are the words we are learning in school. 8th grade is very difficult. I think that my best subject right I now is math and I have always been good in math. Reading isn't the best even know I have a B and Language Arts isn't the best either. I have a High C in that class. But I am trying to bring up my grade's. Well I will see you on my birthday or if you see you before that like for my graduation for the 8 grade. It is on june 10th so I better see you there. I love you lots and will talk to you soon. OMG TTYL

BYY!!! Reply..( I like talking on here its free unlike a cell phone. lol)

I sure hope that you feel better. A lot of people I know are sick. Aunt Jacki is just getting over being sick.

I'm happy that you had fun at your chorus concert. What type of music are you singing?

And I am not #@… I am ##, You should know that.

Ok, I can give you the definition of two of those words, I think. I promise, no cheating. I am going to look them up after I finish this message.

1) Gerrymander: I do not know. I have seen this word before, just don't remember the definition.

2) Delineate – To draw a line or distinction between two things. (I think)

3) Omnipresent – All knowing. God.

Aunt Jacki (no e) and I love you too! TTYL

Nice word, I like it.

I would strongly recommend looking up words in a dictionary when you don't know what they mean. It will help you grow a bigger vocabulary. When something is "manifested" it is made obvious or clear. And what I mean by that was, just because boys are often told "Real men don't cry" doesn't mean that will keep the emotion away. The real emotion is often revealed through anger (or another emotion) instead of tears.

I talked to Nana, and she says that I was a very emotional boy. What I told her is that may be true, but we are raised by more than just our parents. We venture out into the world with friends and other people that are part of our lives. We may learn "Real men don't cry" or other socially unacceptable things in many ways, not just from our parents.

As for your chorus concert, that is AWESOME. I wish I would have known sooner so that we could make arrangements to come down there. We definitely hope that you do GREAT, I am sure you will.

Good job on your Interim report, I am sure that you are very proud. I am sure that you will turn that C around now that you know about it. That is the good thing about Interim reports, they show you where you need to improve. They are not your final grade.

Aunt Jacki and I love you very much. Tell Johnny and Mommy that we love and miss them too. We can't wait to see you all again.

A combination between hello and hey. What about that! I made my own word yay! So the reason why I am typing back is because I have no clue what manifest is? O never mind I didn't finish reading… does it mean anger because i would have never knew that. Guess what i got my intrume to day and I got 2 A's, 4 B's and 1 C. I'm kind of upset about the C but I have always going to be bad and readikng and always has been bad at reading. I got a new bike for my birthday just incase you didn't know. And it is white with red on it. It is awesome anyways talk to you soon love you and Aunt Jackie. Bye

I know we just spoke on the phone, but I did forget to mention something. I obviously will never know what has truly transpired between you and dad. I don't place blame, I just feel badly for both of you. Having talked to him (VERY VERY BRIEFLY) he has mentioned that he feels bad and also feels like he has reached out unsuccessfully. But I will leave that between the two of you

Thanks for the fowl language on my blog too…. Always nice to have here.

Can't wait to see you and the kids. Tell them I miss them!

Yes, there were… I don't know…. 27 or something.

I have grown to learn that crying is not a bad thing. I think it is terrible that we teach our little girls that it's ok to cry, but tell our little boys that "real men don't cry." Emotions are important, and if you don't take the time to learn how to deal with them, they will tend to manifest themselves in other ways (i.e. anger).

I love and miss you much. Can't wait to see you, Johnny, and your mother.

Thank you so much for the comment on this. I agree, it is jolting to realize that our parents were once in love. I have a new post that I am putting the finishing touches on and will have up tonight. There were some things in this post that have hurt my mom, that I need to write about. Plus she went and did something HUGE for me.
