People can't help who they love and the circumstances they may find themselves in at any given time. I hope the best for you and your husband, and I hope that when he is released that your life will be happy. I am afraid that prison will be where my daugter ends up, and this is the best thought that I have at this time, for her death is the other thought that consumes me. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we never expected to be in and we just do the best we can to deal with it and make it better. It's not that prison is a good thing , or that we want to be involved in a prison situation, but sometimes life just deals out certain cards and we have to play them the best we can. I never thought my beautiful daughter would be selling her body for a 10 dollar crack rock and a six pack of beer and a few zanac. I find myself running all over the place trying to see if she is still alive, just so I can have a nights sleep and be able to work the next day. I have heard people say they live a day at a time, well I live hour to hour with this terrible fear. I pray you will be ok and all will work out for you and your husband. Please pray that my situation will get better also.<br>SheilaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197007162185268853.post-34188344548640129912004-08-16T17:52:00.000-07:002004-08-16T17:52:00.000-07:00hi! fran i just want you to know that there are ot...hi! fran i just want you to know that there are others out there that like you myself have been there and done that for me it was for something i did not do but it is hard to change something that you do not know the facts about it's funny that you to are writing something with the same title as my book which i have been working on for over a year now it is titled "reflections" by the way my name is james williams and keep the faith if possiable sometime we have to move on it's been 20 years now and i am home a little more than that but it's hard starting over but i am doing it and you can too take care jwill28499@aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197007162185268853.post-60584189371861214512004-08-20T20:55:00.000-07:002004-08-20T20:55:00.000-07:00This is very sad situation ladies, all can do is s...This is very sad situation ladies, all can do is shake my head. I really don't understand how we allow ourselves to get caught up in this mess. Waiting by the phone, running up the phone bill, taking our young impressionable children to sit in a jail to see "daddy". The only way I would be supportive of any man in jail is if he was wrongfullly accused. If by his own will, he went out and committed a crime, that would be the end, and if we have child together, my child would not go to prison to visit him. Pictures & calls maybe. We need to set our standards higher. The same men you write letters to, wait by the phone for and sleep with during conjugal visits, is the same man having sex in those prison showers bring AIDS home to you! And I don't care what they tell you, you cannot make it out alive unless you have some form of sexual contact in prison!<br><br>God Bless & Wake UpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197007162185268853.post-26544496257824189472004-08-20T20:56:00.000-07:002004-08-20T20:56:00.000-07:00This is very sad situation ladies, all can do is s...This is very sad situation ladies, all can do is shake my head.

There is a problem with the justice system! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
