muah! i don t want her to think that i just disappeared and i m not there and just come back after all these years and try to be a part of her life. i d like to actually try to be a part of it even though i m gone. i wrote, this book belongs to, then i wrote emilee, from daddy. i love you with all my heart, baby. i miss you and i m thinking of you every single day. you re my angel. muah. and i spelled it m-u-a-h. going to read you a story called hansel and gretel. i love you. pretty sweet, huh? gretel and her brother so, how does that make you feel? i just feel very happy. sounds good. i think she s going to like that. she ll get this big package in the mail and she ll probably be excited about that, too.
but the first story he records will be for the daughter he s closest to. 7-year-old emilee. and he s just written a letter to tell her about story time. emilee, what s up, baby girl? i love you so much. daddy misses you so much. bunches. how is mommy doing? i heard you were doing great in school and that you re the smartest kid in your class. i m so proud of you. i feel very happy when i know you re doing so well. i signed up for a class today so i can read stories on tape and send them to you so you can hear me. i hope that you will like it. are you being a good big sister and helping mommy with your baby brothers? i bet you re the best big sister in the whole world. and you re the most beautiful girl in the world and nothing can ever change that. you re special, baby girl. i love you with all my heart. muah. love you bunches. i ll mail that to my daughter tomorrow morning. and that gets you emotional? yeah. i cry every time i do it.
i can t write her without crying. while stokes feels emotions in jail, especially when it comes to emilee, he s cautious to hide them from other inmates. any kind of love or tears is pointed out as a weakness in here. it s frowned upon. definitely not going to go out and sit in the middle of the pod and write a letter and cry my eyes out in front of 105 guys. that s not going to happen. i ll go in my cell, shut the door, keep that to myself. people prey on that in this environment. people get extorted and people get robbed and people get beat up and jumped and i m not one of those people. i refuse to be like that. other inmates typically preyed upon in jail are those accused or convicted of sex crimes. erik olson was recently assaulted by two other inmates who thought he had raped a 12-year-old girl.
in a year and a half and i ll be able to be with my kids and stuff. it s awesome. i was really excited because now i get to see her a lot quicker. my relationship with carrie after i get out of here, it s going to be pretty serious. i mean we re already getting there. you can get married in prison. i ve already checked into it. i had my mom do that. brayden dailey may believe they have a future together, but now that she s likely to soon be leaving maricopa, kimbrough has just revealed to us that her relationship with dailey was just a scam. my friend introduced me to brayden as a friend. she was like, she puts money on other people s books. whatever, whatever. and i was like, yeah, right. and she was like, no, seriously, and you know emilee. she s a writer. so i started writing her letters. it became a hustle for me. my relationship with brayden is awesome. it s letter writing. her mom puts money on my books every week. it s awesome. i don t have to see her, i don t
it back. i stuff this in my legal folders so they can t search it. this, i covered it with like a cover letter to the to the judge. but these are all of the letters from emilee. and i think i have given her even more. there s 71 letters in here. keen still remembers the first time dailey wrote her. i, you know, read the letter from brayden, and it said that she was born with x and y chromosomes and that she was taking shots of testosterone. it kind of blew me back a little bit. i was like, whoa, you know, i didn t think that would be something you would put off in the first letter that you are meeting someone. you are know what i mean? but she didn t have no shame in it. when i wrote her the letter, i drew a picture of us in stripes. i have been in here five months.
