LIFE GOES ON IN KINTOCK....

DEAR ANITA....

  THANK YOU FOR YOUR LAST COMMENT, AND I THOUGHT I'D ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTS. HERE!.........JIMMY IS SUPPOSSED TO START HIS JOB ON TUESDAY, AS MONDAY IS A HOLIDAY.....TUESDAY IS ORIENTATION, AND HE WILL FIND OUT ALL ABOUT THE JOB, AND WHAT SHIFT HE WORKS........HE WILL TAKE A SMALL MINI-VAN THERE, AND THE JOB IS NOT TOO FAR FROM KINTOCK.........HE IS RESTING UP FOR IT, AND PREPARING FOR IT....HE IS VERY HAPPY AND EXCITED BOUT IT.........IT IS A "QUALITY ASSURANCE JOB," IN A PLANT.....I BELIEVE IT IS A TURKEY PLANT...........................................TRUTHFULLY, JIMMY WILL DO ANY JOB VERY WELL....MY HUSBAND CAN DO ALMOST EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING...........AND HE WILL...............BUT HE IS VERY ANXIOUS TO START HIS WEEK-END FURLOUGHS HOME...........AND HE NEEDS TO BE WORKING OUTSIDE OF KINTOCK TO DO THAT........

I'M HAPPY YOU LIKE OUR PIX!....WE TOOK THAT A FEW DAYS BEFORE HE TURNED HIMSELF IN, ON OUR COMPUTER CAM.........JIMMY LOVES TAKING PIX, AND WE HAVE ABOUT EVERY CAMERA, AND CAM-CORDER YOU CAN IMAGINE!..(SPRINT CELL PHONES, DIG CAMS, ETC.........MANY TIMES AT NIGHT I SIT AND WATCH THE MOVIES OF OURSELF THAT HE FILMED BEFORE HE WENT TO PRISON.......MOVIES OF US SITTIN G ON THE BOARDWALK, LOOKING AT THE OCEAN, WATCHING TV, OUR 3 PETS, OUR HOME IN LAS VEGAS, OUR SOCIAL GATHERINGS....AND OF COURSE THE HUMEROUS THINGS I SAY..............OH YES, HE HAS THAT ALL ON FILM!......I LOVE TO SIT AND WATCH MY HUSBAND, AND HE LOVES TO WATCH ME!....................YOU SEE, WHEN YOUR HUSBAND GOES TO PRISON...THAT IS, THE MAN YOU ARE SO IN LOVE WITH, THE PASSAGE OF 'TIME" STARTS PLAYING TRICKS ON YOUR MIND.  IN OTHER WORDS, THE 2 YEARS HE IS GONE DOES NOT SEEM LIKE 2 YEARS...IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY, HE STOOD AT THE FRONT DOOR, AND SAID GOOD-BYE........TIME HAS A STRANGE WAY OF 'CONDENSING" IN THE MIND.................WE HAVE A LITTLE GAME WE HAVE AGREED TO PLAY WHEN HE COMES HOME.  WHEN HE WALKS THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, HE WILL TELL ME HE HAD JUST WENT OUT TO THE STORE FOR A FEW MINUTES (NOT THE 2  OR MORE YRS HE HAS BEEN GONE)...AND THEN, WE WILL RESUME OUR LIFE, JUST AS IF HE NEVER LEFT..........YES, JIMMY AND I HAVE OUR OWN WAY OF COPING WITH THIS EXPERIENCE........YOU SEE, WHAT MAKES THE BOTH OF US VERY UNUSUAL, IS THAT WE HAVE HIGHLY IMMAGINATIVE AND CREATIVE MINDS......WE CAN, IN FACT, CHANGE BAD INTO GOOD,,,,,,,,,,,,IN ONE WAY, JIMMY AND I CREATE A LITLE WORLD AROUND US...A LITTLE WORLD OF FANTASY AND PLEASURE..........EVEN SEPEREATED BY PRISON WALLS , WE CONTINUE TO DO THIS.....WE ARE 2 ADULTS THAT LIKE TO PLAY...WE REALLY NEVER GREW UP, AND YET WE ARE VERY MUCH ADULTS, AND CAN BE VERY SERIOUS..............WE ARE VERY FLEXIBLE PEOPLE.............EVEN WITH ME LOSING MY EYESIGHT. PEOPLE CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I AM EVEN BLIND...............WELL, YOU SEE , I PRETEND IN MY HEAD THAT I AM NOT BLIND, AND THEN TO ME I CAN SEE.................IF PRISON WIVES CAN LEARN TO DO THIS,....TO USE THEIR CREATIVE MINDS, THE EXPERINCE WOULD NOT BE SO DREADFUL..............

I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THE STORY IN "THE PRESS OF ATLANTIC CITY.".........MAINLY, I AM HAPPY TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THIS ISSUE.........THAT THE ROLE OF "THE PRISON WIFE," DOES EXIST IN OUR SOCIETY..............MOST OFTEN A FORGOTTEN WOMAN, "SHE " NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED AND BROUGHT OUT INTO THE FOREFRONT..............I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SOME, "YOU FEEL IT IS A STIGMA TO BE A PRISON WIFE."..........NO, IT'S NOT ME...........IT IS SOCIETY, YES SOCIETY, THAT PUTS THE STIGMA ON THESE WOMEN, BECAUSE EVEN THE WORD PRISON, SENDS SHIVERS UP ONES SPINE.............I AM PROUD OF MY HUSBAND, AND I AM PROUD TO BE HIS WIFE........I AM PROUD HE DID THE RIGHT THING AND IS SERVING HIS PRISON TERM.......I';M IN LOVE WITH MY HUSBAND............WHEN HE LEFT ME, 2 YEARS AGO, WE WERE STILL IN A STATE OF INFATUATION..............IS THAT POSSIBLE, TO BE IN THAT STATE FOR 2 YEARS, AT OUR AGE (47 AND 49 AT THE TIME)...AND NOW, OUR LOVE HAS PROGRESSED INTO EVEN SOMETHING DEEPER............

WELL, I'LL GO TO BED NOW........IT IS SNOWING OUTSIDE, ONCE AGAIN!..............................FRAN
