THIS JOURNAL

I KNOW THIS JOURNAL IS ABOUT THE LIFE OF A PRISON WIFE, BUT I HOPE EVERYONE WILL LIKE TO READ IT!
MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN HOME FROM PRISON FOR 2.1 YEARS.......NOW I FEEL LIKE WRITING ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS............JUST ABOUT LIFE!........
AT FIRST, WHEN JIMMY WENT TO PRISON, ON MARCH 28, 2003, I FELT LIKE A CRUSHED WOMAN....NOW, LITTLE BY LITTLE THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
NOW, WE ARE FINALLY COMING INTO THE PRESENT MOMENT..........
JIMMY WILL BE ON PAROLE UNTIK THE SUMMER 2009.

NOW FOR SOME SAD NEWS.
JIMBO, OUR 16YEAR OLD SOMALIAN CAT DIED 2 WEEKS AGO. YOU CAN SEE HIM ON THE PIX (MISTY IS WASHING HIM)...........HE JUST STOPPED EATING, AND THIS WAS A CAT WHO LOVED TO EAT! WE BOUGHT HIM TO THE VET.....JIMBO HAD DIABETES AND AN INFECTION.........HE WAS IN VERY BAD SHAPE........HE WAS EUTHANIZED......I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE IN EUTHANASIA, BUT IN THIS CASE, IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
WE WILL GO AND PICK UP JIMBOS ASHES LATER TODAY.
I HAVE BOUGHT CATS SINCE THE TIME THEY COULD SIT IN THE PALM OF MY HAND.........
JIMMY IS VERY MUCH AFFECTD BY THIS......HE LOVED JIMBO VERY MUCH.......JIMBO WOULD SIT IN THE KITCHEN WHILE JIMMY COOKED, CRYING AND SCREAMING FOR FOOD........JIMMY WAS ALWAYS CERTAIN THE LITTLE JIMBO HAD A LOT OF FOOD....AND HE FEEDS ALL THE PETS, AND PUTS DOWN FRESH WATER SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.
EVERY NORNING, JIMBO WOULD CLIMB UPON JIMMY'S CHEST, AT 5 AM.
JIMMY CHANGES THE LITTER, AND ALSO WALKS THE DOGS.....
...........YES, WE WILL MISS JIMBO

..............FRAN AND JIMMY

Sorry about Jimbo. I know that losing a pet is like another mamber of the family. I guess you will have to snuggle up to the others for some reassurance. My Regards, Bill.
