"JUST SOME THOUGHTS"...part 2

IN ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMENTS..........JIMMY'S ORIGINAL SENTENCE WAS FOR 10 YEARS. HE IMPORTED 800 LBS. OF POT FROM MEXICO, THROUGH ARIZONA.  HIS ACTUAL INCARCERATION WAS 24 MONTHS. HE IS ON A FARM.  11 DAYS OF HIS SENTENCE IS SUBTRACTED EACH MONTH. HE MUST NOT DO ANYTHING TO JEOPARDIZE THAT.........LIKE FIGHTING, WHICH A LOT OF GUYS DO. SO HE THINKS, BY CALCULATING EVERYTHING, HE WILL BE UP FOR PAROLE IN OCT. 2004......OH, IT IS ALL SUCH A NIGHTMARE FOR ME, WHEN I WRITE THESE WORDS.  BUT...I LOVE HIM...SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT.  TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY FOR ME, AND YET, NOW AT THE END OF THE DAY, I FEEL DEPRESSED AND "DRAWN OUT."  THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN SAY OR DO FOR ME...IT JUST IS THAT WAY...I BOUGHT SOME TOMATO PLANTS AND A RAKE AND SHOVEL YESTERDAY...ALSO, ANOTHER GARDEN ANGEL STATUE, TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION.I'M BUSY CLEANING UP AND THROWING OUT, IN ANTICIPATION OF JIMMY'S HOMECOMING........IT KEEPS MY MIND OFF THINGS, AND MAKES TIME GO FASTER...PLUS THE FACT, JIMMY IS A CLEANLINESS FREAK........CARPETS WILL BE CLEANED NEXT WEEK!...I'VE BEEN BUSY CALLING INMATE'S FAMILIES TO GIVE THEM THE NUMBER WHERE TO CALL TO GET THEIR PHONE PIN NUMBERS TURNED ON...ONE WIFE WAS SO UPSET.......SHE CALLED ME 5 OR 6 TIMES...SHE WAS HAVING A "BAD DAY.".......I FELT SORRY FOR HER. I LISTENED TO HER, AND TALKED HER THROUGH IT.......JIMMY HAS BEEN BUSY DOING THINGS FOR PEOPLE.......TAKING THEM TO THE LAW LIBRARY...WRITING LETTERS FOR THEM...MY HUSBAND, BEING A FORMER ATTORNEY, IS VERY WELL VERSED IN THE LAW.  HE WAS BORN TO BE AN Attorney.  HE LOVES LAW...HE LOVES HIS COUNTRY....HE KNOWS EVERYTHING ANYBODY COULD KNOW ABOUT LAW AND HIS COUNTRY. AND YET HE MADE A MISTAKE, AND IS IN PRISON. .........THE SENATOR AND CONGRESSMAN'S OFFICE CALLED ME THE OTHER DAY, AND TODAY I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE CONGRESSMAN.  IT IS ABOUT ANOTHER ISSUE(NOT PRISON), BUT JIMMY ADVISES ME ABOUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT THINGS...EVEN FROM PRISON....HE GOES RIGHT TO THE SOURCE.........HE GUIDES ME THE RIGHT WAY.  HE KNOWS ALL THE LEGALATIES, AND WHO TO GO TO ABOUT THINGS........AND GUESS WHAT!...THE CONGRESSMAN SIGNS HIS NAME ON THE ENVELOPE...HE DOESN'T EVEN NEED A STAMP!...(GIGGLE).  BEFORE I GO, WHEN YOU HAVE A CHANCE, STOP BY AND READ THE COMMENT ON 4/16, BY CINDY(INMTWIFE), IN MY JOURNAL.....CINDY, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN YOUR FEELINGS. LIKE YOU, I TOO, SOMETIMES FEEL VERY AFRAID, FOR NO REASON.  I HATE TO GO OUT AND BE AMONGST PEOPLE, ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T QUITE TERMED IT AGORAPHOBIA, YET. REALIZE, WE ARE UNDER TREMONDOUS STRESS...IT WILL PASS WHEN HUBBY COMES HOME TO YOU.  THE SADNESS OF THIS SITUATION IS......"WE ARE THE FORGOTTEN WOMEN." IF I WERE A WIDOW OR DIVORCEE, ALL THIS WOULD PASS, AND I WOULD MOVE ON. AS A PRISON WIFE, WE BELONG NO WHERE AND WE LIVE IN A LIMBO. WE ARE ALONE, BUT MUST CARRY GOD IN OUR HEARTS. SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, IT WILL MAKE US STRONGER WOMEN.
