°(LDD) Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler
Dear Casey,
I'm an inmate in the Houston County Jail in Erin, Tennessee, and I can't blame anyone but myself for being here. I'm a single mom with 3 kids: Kelsey, Corey, and Shania. My mom (Cindy) and my dad (Alan) are divorced, but despite their problems, they have saved me many times. Now once again, they're by my side. You see, my mom is taking care of my 3 girls, and my dad does everything I ask him to. I can say "I'm Sorry" a million times, but that doesn't make up for my behavior. They both work and have their own bills to pay, but they still manage to take care of my girls and my pets. So if you don't mind, could you play "Wind Beneath My Wings"? Not only for my mom & dad, but for my girls too. If it weren't for all of them, my life/our life wouldn't be able to fly. Thank you.
Denise
