HELLO

HELLO EVERYONE!

AS WE PROGRESS INTO THE HOLIDAY SEASON, I DO KNOW IT IS AN UNHAPPY TIME FOR ALL MY FELLOW PRISON WIVES.................
PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR WRITING ABOUT PLEASANT THINGS IN THIS JOURNAL...........AS YOU KNOW, JIMMY WAS IN PRISON FOR 3.5 YEARS.........IT IS NOW AROUND 2 YEARS HE IS HOME......
HOLIDAY TIMES ARE VERY SAD WHEN HUBBY IS IN PRISON.............BUT IF YOU REALIZE HE WILL BE HOME ONE DAY....
WHEN JIMMY WAS INCARCERATED, I COULD NOT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE......I NEVER EVEN WANTED TO THINK ABOUT HOLIDAYS.....I WENT TO THE PRISON ON THANKSGOVING AND XMAS A COUPLE OF TIMES.........I LATER GOT SICK, BECAUSE IT UPSET ME SO MUCH............IF YOU GO BACK IN THE ARCHIVES OF THIS JOURNAL,TO THE HOLIDAY TIMES, YOU WILL SEE WHAT I WENT THOUGH..........
SO, MY FELLOW PRISON WIVES, PLEASE FEEL THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE........IT TAKES A LONG TIME............BUT IT HAPPENS SLOWLY...........SUDDENLY YOUR HUSBAND IS RELEASED AND LIFE MOVES ON.............
IT HAS BEEN 26 MONTHS THAT JIMMY IS NOW HOME.

AND NOW WE PROCEED..........WE SET UP FAMILY TRADITIONS....
WE ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS.........

JIMMY WILL DECORATE THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE AGAIN..........TREE AND MOVING DECORATIONS, AS HE DID LAST YEAR............WE WILL SEND OUT AROUND 50 CARDS..........AND I WILL WRITE A CHRISTMAS LETTER THIS YEAR...............

SO YOU SEE, MY FELLOW PRISON WIVES..........HANG IN THERE............IT WILL SOON CHANGE..............

JIMMY AND I WILL BE GOING TO PAROLE THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING..........HE IS ON PAROLE UNTIL THE SUMMER OF 2009.........

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