The Trip Home

I am the product of a military family and a veteran of the U.S. Air force, so I have been quite a few places. Unfortunately I have been in the Texas penal system for the past seven years, but even in here I have been many places. I have been to six different units during my incarceration so that's six different parts of Texas I have seen, these are San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Tilia, Huntsville, and Anarills. None of the places I have been compare to the place I am going on February 8, 2007. On that day I will discharge my sentence, and will be released back into society. As it stands I will be traveling to Pattsville Pennsylvania to make a home for myself there. I have some close friends there who have agreed to help me get on my feet. The closer I get to release the more unreal it seems to me. I have been thinking about my release day for years, and it is finally near. I have made many preparations for reintegrating into society, but as I have already said it still doesn't seem real. Many of my friends have already made the trip and have written me back assuring me that I will do fine out there. I have written all I can about being released now all that remains is for me to take the final trip home.
