HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

HERE WE ARE...........HALLOWEEN, ONCE AGAIN    :)

THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR, IN 3.6 YEARS, THAT JIMMY AND I WILL BE TOGETHER FOR HALLOWEEN.....................WE MAY GO TO THE PARADE, IN OUR LOCAL TOWN, FOR A LITTLE WHILE................I HAVE A LONG PINK WIG.............AND HE HAS AN UGLY MASK TO PUT ON!............SO, WE MAY FOOL AROUND A LITTLE!

AT HOME, JIMMY LOOKS VERY CUTE, BECAUSE HE BOUGHT A PAIR OF SCOOBY-DOO SLIPPERS, AND A PAIR OF SCOOBY -DOO SHORTS............AND THIS IS FOR EVERYDAY...NOT FOR HALLOWEEN.AND YES, HE LOOKS VERY CUTE!..............PRINCE, AND THE 2 CATS JUST LOVE HIS FURRY SCOOBY- DOO SLIPPERS.............YES,  EVEN MY BIG, STRONG HUSBAND, IS A CUTE FELLOW, AND LIKES TO JOKE A LOT!

IN RESPONSE TO YOUR COMMENTS, JIMMY IS BACK TO WORK, BUT ONLY WORKS 3 , 12 HOUR SHIFTS PER DAY.........HE IS A MAN WHO LOVES TO WORK, SO ALL IS GOING WELL!

TODAY, WE HAD A QUIET DAY, BUT DID GO OUT TO THE LIBRARY................JIMMY OREDERED A LOT OF CD'S, AMD I GOT SEVERAL BOOKS OUT ON FENG SHUI, WHICH I ENHOY READING....

ON THURSDAY, WE HAVE A PSYCHOLOGIST APPOINTMENT, FOR THE 2 OF US, THIS TIME...............I'M NOT  SURE EXACTLY WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO SAY, BUT I WILL BE THERE, ANYHOW, AS A SUPPORTIVE WIFE....................I GUESS THEY WANT TO ANALYZE , ME TOO!....................AFTER ALL, JIMMY AND I ARE 2 VERY UNIQUE PEOPLE......................I SUPPOSE PEOPLE LIKE TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT IS IN OUR HEADS!..........................JIMMY HAS DONE CRIMINALISTIC ACTIVITY IN HIS LIFE.  HOWEVER, AS I ALWAYS SAY, HE HAS BEEN TITLED A GENIUS , BY MANY....THAT IS HE IS A VERY SMART MAN, WHO WAS ABLE TO THINK THINGS OUT ..........BUT SINCE HE MARRIED ME, HE WANTS TO DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY, AND WILL NO LONGER GO DOWN THE PATH OF CRIMES..................AS FOR ME, I AM A WOMAN WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH A MAN WHO WAS A CRIMINAL...................MANY PEOPLE WONDER JUST WHAT TYPE OF WOMAN DID JIMMY MARRY..........JIMMY, A HIGHLY INTELLIGENT MAN, WHO DID MANY, MANY EXCEPTIONAL THINGS IN HIS LIFE.............AND ME, FRAN.........................HIS WIFE.....................SO, ON THURSDAY, WE FEEL IT IS BETTER FOR US TO GO AND TALK THINGS OUT WITH A PSYCHOLOGIST...................WELL, MAYBE, JUST MAYBE,SHE CAN FIGURE US OUT!............i doubt it though    :)

I WOULD LIKE TO ONCE AGAIN THANK EVERYONE FOR CONTINUING TO READ THIS JOURNAL......ALL THE MANY BEAUTIFUL COMMENTS!......................I RECEIVE SO MANY THANK YOU'S, THAT THIS JOURNAL HELPS PEOPLE...........IT REALLY TOUCHES MY HEART!

I WILL JUST STEP BACK FROM THE PRESENT, AND TRY TO GIVE SOME ADVICE FOR THLSE WOMEN, WHO ARE WAITING FOR THIER HUSBAND IN PRISON................I GET SO MANY E-MAILS AND COMMENTS PER DAY, WITH WOMEN THAT SHARE THEIR STORY WITH ME............

WHEN YOUR HUSBAND IS IN PRISON KEEP YOURSELF FOCUSED.  ...................ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT MARRIAGE IS A COVENANT BETWEEN HUSBAND, WIFE, AND GOD.  SO THEREFORE, NO ONE CAN JUDGE YOU AND SAY TO LEAVE YOUR HUSBAND...................HOPE THAT THROUGH THE PRISON PROCESS, YOUR HUSBAND WILL BE HELPED TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON, AND NO LONGER COMMIT CRIMES...........STAND BY YOUR MAN.  ALWAYS BE THERE FOR HIM.  LISTEN TO HIM.  TRY AS HARD AS YOU CAN TO KEEP YOUR DAY TO DAY LIFE FOCUSED ON HIM.............WRITE TO HIM, SEND HIM CARDS AND COMPUTER PRINT-OUTS OF SUBJECTS OF INTEREST TO HIM........EVEN SEND HIM A PRINT-OUT OF THIS JOURNAL.IT MAY HELP HIM TO SEE HOW OTHERS HAVE COPED WITH THIS...............MANY MEN IN PRISONS HAVE ALREADY READ THIS JOURNAL.

AS A WIFE, TRY TO BETTER YOURSELF, AND FAMILY.  TAKE AS BEST CARE OF THE CHILDREN, AS POSSIBLE..........EDUCATE YOURSELF, GET A GOOD JOB....LOOK FOR A CAREER...................THERE IS A LOT IN THIS WORLD ONE CAN DO, TO PROGRESS AHEAD.......

I WOULD SUGGEST, THAT FINANCIALLY SAVE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN................MAINTAIN THE HOUSEHOLD FOR YOUR MAN................KEEP THINGS ORDERLY AND ORGANIZED.....

I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TALK TO JIMMY MANY TIMES PER DAY.................JIMMY CALCUALTED THAT WE SPENT OVER $20, 000 IN PHONE BILLS, IN THE 3.6 YEARS OF HIS INCARCERATION...................FOR US , IT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE DID, AND EVEN TODAY, I REFUSE TO BE SORRY FOR SPENDING SUCH AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON PHONE BILLS............

ONE PERSON WROTE, SHE CANNOT GO TO SEE HER HUSBAND WHO IS IN PRISON. ................FOR ALL THOSE THAT MAY NOT REMEMBER, I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO VISIT AND SEE JIMMY FOR ONE ENTIRE YEAR, DURING THE BEGINNING OF HIS INCARCERATION................BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE A NEW JERSEY ID, I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO SEE JIMMY, AS HORRIBLE AS THAT WAS.....................BUT WE ARE IN LOVE, AND EVEN NOT SEEING ONE ANOTHER DOES NOT TEAR US APART.............

NOW THAT IT IS OVER, IT DOES NOT FEEL THAT HE WAS EVER AWAY.  HOWEVER, WHILE GOING THROUGH IT, IT WAS SIMPLY PUT, A HORRIBLE THING TO GO THROUGH.

BUT IT IS POSSIBLE, AS I AM ONE EXAMPLE..............

I WILL GO TO BED NOW...............CLIMB NEXT TO JIMMY INTO HIS ARMS.............HE IS ALREADY ASLEEP IN THE BED!             :)
