Deputy Sheriff Larry David Griffith

HAPPY THANKSGIVING BIG BROTHER.......I am back again to spend a little time with you as I always do on this day. You are always one of my special blessings in life and even though you are so far away from me there is not a day that goes by that you are not in my thoughts, my heart, and my prayers. I always love you and that only grows stronger rather than lessens.

A lot of changes in my life this year. A new job......and get this.....at a shoe store. It might be the last places I should work since I have always been a shoeholic....LOL. But, I enjoy the job, the people that I work with, and I have been good about "keeping my blinders" on while I am at work so I don't spend on my paycheck on shoes. I did have to buy a pair of tennis shoes to wear at work as I am sure not used to being on my feet all day at my age, and a pair of winter boots. You would be proud of me.

My Romeo has a Juliet to keep him company now. She is a long-haired calico kitty that started coming around to eat with the ferals; so I trapped her and had her TNR'd.......she must have been someones kitty that was just dumped here as she was so sweet and friendly. Anyway I decided to keep her as an inside kitty with Romeo.

I still have my ferals, Birdie and Beau; but sadly I had to have Ozzie put down. I noticed that he was not eating well, and was getting really thin so I trapped him and took him to the Vet hoping that maybe he just had some bad teeth that needed to be pulled. But, turned out it was more serious and I did not want him to die alone out in the woods this winter so made the decision to put him down. I was able to be with him at the end, and was finally able to touch him, pet him, and hold him so he could leave this earth knowing that not all human hands are unkind. I had him cremated so that he now has a forever home with me. I also bought an outside cat house for Birdie and Beau so they will have a warm place to shelter in the winter. I named the cat house " Ozzie's House for Wayward Kitties".

California's Governor and politics in the State have continued to take away from the rights of Victims and Survivors; and Ervine along with all the other Death Row Inmates were removed from Death Row and sent to other prisons in the state. So, basically everything has just stopped after 30 years of Court Trials and Appeals.......and my heart feels like it was all for nothing. The State of California, the Governor, and the people who voted for him took it all away and failed you along with all of the other victims. Lady Justice no longer lives there, and I have lost all my faith in the judicial system that should never have become a political pawn. I just cannot find it in my heart to forgive.....but maybe some day God can help me find some sort of peace with it.

Well, I will come to visit with you again soon......maybe on my Birthday as I will have the day off. In the mean time.......I love you and miss you. You are always a part of each beat of my heart.......each breath I take.......forever.

Love always
Your Baby Sister
Terri
