SEPT. 17, 2006 WAS THE DAY THAT JIMMY CAME HOME FROM PRISON..............AND WE STILL REMEMBER THE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE, THAT DAY...............VERY WELL...............
JIMMY WAS ACTUALLY IN A HALF WAY HOUSE ....VOA...IN CAMDEN, NJ.
HE WAS RELEASED AT 8AM, THAT DAY. FORTUNALY, WE HAD SOMEONE TO DRIVE HIM HOME.........IT TAKES 1.5 HR.S, TO GET HOME.................IF HE HAD TO RIDE THE BUS, IT WOULD EVEN TAKE LONGER.
NOW, ALL YOU PRISONN WIVES, LISTEN TO ME......
THE PRISON SYSTEM MAKES IT VERY HARD ON EVERYONE WHO IS INVOLVED............
ALL PRISONERS HAVE TO REPORT THAT SAME DAY TO THE PAROLE OFFICE IN A DISTANT CITY...........
SO. JIMMY GOT HOME AROUND 10 AM............WE ASKED THE PERSON TO PLEASE DRIVE US TO THE NEARBY CAR RENTAL PLACE...........WE GOT THERE, AND WHAT A HASSEL!.....THEY WPOLD NOT ALLOW US TO RENT A CAR, BECAUSE I DID NOTHAVE A JERSY LICENSE............I OMLY HAD A NEVADA LICEMSE, AND JIMMY JERSEY LICENSE WAS EXPIRD...........WE DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE OUR JAGUAR, SINCE THE PLATES WERE STILL NEVADA PLATES..........AND TRUTHFULLY I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF MY EYESIGHT......................
WHAT WERE WE TO DO!
WE HAD TO GO TO RED BANK, NJ...........WHICH IS AROUND 40 MINUTES AWAY FROM WHERE WE LIVE!.................and, it had to be today!
WE WENT HOME AND ASKED SEVERAL NEIGHBORS..............A MAN HAS A CAR DIVER SERVICE.................EVERUONE LET US DOWN.
I CALLED JIMMY'S FATHER AND MY SISTER...........NO.THEY COUNDN'T DO IT...........
then my aunt who lives nearby, called me to see HOW I WAS DOING...............WHAT A BLESSING!
A FEW MINUTES LATER SHE WAS AT OUR DOOR, IN HER BEAUATIFUL WHITE LINCOLN, WITH HER BOYFRIEND DRIVING, AND HER LITTLE DOG...A MALTESE...MIMI.......AT HE SIDE.
THEY TOOK US TO RED BANK, AND HAD TO WAIT OVER 2 HOURS,AT THE PARLE OFFICE................WE WERE SO THANKFUL...
JIMMY TOLD ME, IN THE PAROLE OFFICE, SOMEone MUTTERED, "OH, HE FINALLY GOT HERE."..............he said nothing....(JIMMY ALWAYS LEARNED TO SAY NOTHING)
AS U CAN SEE, IT WAS STRESSFUL ALL ALONG THE WAY........WE ARE HAPPY THAT WE ARE 2 YEARS INTO THIS, AND ONLY AROUND 10
MONTHS To GO!
A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT, JIMMY'S PAROLE OFFICER SHOWED UP AT THE HOUSE, ALONG WITH ANOTHER MALE OFFICER..............EVERYTHING WAS OK.........THEY LOOK ALL AROUND.............EVERTHING WAS NEAT AND TIDY.........SEVERal WEEKS LATER, JIMMY'S CURRENT PAROLE OFFICER SHOWED UP AND WOULD APPEAR EVERY 2 WEEKS OR SO.
ONCE YOUR HUSBAND GETS A JOB, THEY STRETCH IT OUT TO EVERY MONTH....THEN 2 AND 3 MONTHS TO REPORT TO PAROLE....
YES, THAT FIRST DAY, AND THE DAYS FOLLOWING, WERE VERY STRESSFUL////////////
BYE FOR NOW............TIME TO SPOON!
................love, fran
