Bloom Where You Are Planted

This blog was created March 11, 2015. The contents of this blog contain correspondence between Chuckwa Don Crabtree and Gina Gillispie.

Although the two have never met, they became friends via mail when Gina, editor of an online news site, first reported Chuckwa's story.

When Gina saw his arrest photo, there was something that tugged at her to believe this person had a story to tell.

She mailed her first letter September 7, 2012 and they have been writing ever since.

After several years, Chuckwa decided he wanted to begin to tell his life story and send a message of hope to those who still have choices to make...his goal is to spend his time doing good things and good work right where he is....

Chuckwa has decided...to bloom where he is planted.

The posts that you will read will be a mix of old letters, stories about his everyday life in the James V. Allred Unit in Iowa Park, Texas and stories from his boyhood growing up along the creek in Palo Pinto County, Texas.

He signs his letters...."The Callisburg Kid"

THE SUN


ANGEL

There is no bigger fan in a boy/man's life
than his mother


she loves him with a love that cannot be 
explained
duplicated
ended
and is unconditional 
regardless

Chuckwa to Gina:  PS.  I have a picture of me and my mom together in 2006.  I have deal that goes with it called "The Sun is Always Shining", so if you can put it with the picture, that would be good. Thank You.



Diane Crabtree:  Dear Gina, I just want to thank you for being a friend to and helping Chuckwa.  He thinks the world of you and I appreciate you too.  God's blessings be with you and yours. Love, Diane Crabtree
