JIMMY CALLED ME AGAIN TODAY...,AT 7PM, FOR TWO 15 MINUTE CALLS...NOT MUCH FOR TWO VERY-CONNECTED PEOPLE....HE WRITES ME VERY LONG LETTERS...
WE WAIT FOR THURSDAY, WHEN HE WILL GO TO CLASSIFICATION, AND BE PLACED SOMEWHERE...BUT , OH YES, I ALMOST FORGOT! WE ARE NOW GETTING INTO NEW YEAR'S EVE...AND "THE SYSTEM" IS TOO BUSY "PARTYING," AND "HOLIDAYING," WHILE MY HUSBAND SITS IN A CELL THAT IS 8X9FT, BECAUSE KINTOCK DECIDED TO DO THIS TO HIM FOR THE HOLIDAYS....WHY DON'T YOU ALL TAKE A MEASURING TAPE, AND MEASURE THAT.,.AND MY HUSBAND IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 300 LBS...........I BET NICE , BIG MEN WOULD FEEL CLAUSTROPHOBIC TO BE IN SUCH A TINY SPACE, EVERYDAY, ALL DAY...LET OUT FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES..,.AND, AS YOU MAY HAVE READ HERE, JIMMY IS INNOCENT OF HIS CHARGES. BUT BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED AT HOLIDAY TIME, HE IS TRAPPED WITHIN THE SYSTEM, AND HASN'T BEEN PLACED ANYWHERE..........WELL, LET ME TELL YOU, JIMMY'S MIND IS JUST FINE...ALL HE DOES IS "THINK" FOR 24 HOURS/DAY.......I AM VERY LUCKY TO HAVE MARRIED SUCH AN INTELLIGENT MAN........A MAN VERY, VERY WELL-VERSED IN THE LAW..............AS MY HUSBAND WAS AN ATTORNEY, WHO GRADUATED FROM ONE OF THE BEST LAW SCHOOLS IN NEW YORK.........AND HE KNOWS HOW TO GO ABOUT THINGS....................AS FOR ME, I STAY IN BED 24 HOURS/DAY....I SLEEP 2 HOURS, AND THEN GET UP FOR ONE OR TWO, TO DO A FEW HOUSEHOLD THINGS........JIMMY IS WORRIED ABOUT ME, AND BEGS ME TO GET UP...HE MAKES SURE I TAKE CARE OF THE ANIMALS. I TAKE THINGS SLOWLY...VERY SLOWLY. MY STOMACH HAS BEEN HURTING ME SO BAD, THAT I CAN BARELY EAT ANYTHING, OTHERWISE I GET STOMACH PAINS, LIKE SOMEONE HAS PUNCHED ME IN THE STOMACH.....TODAY I ONLY HAD A CUP OF TEA, AND 2 PIECES OF TOAST.....I AM TAKING TAGAMET, AND IT HAS STARTED HELPING A LITTLE....JIMMY THINKS I MAY HAVE DEVELOPED A STOMACH ULCER...AND MAYBE HE IS RIGHT.........................I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE WHY THEY WOULD SINGLE OUT MY HUSBAND, WHEN HUNDREDS OF MEN AT KINTOCK HAVE CELL PHONES........I, MYSELF, CAN EVEN GIVE YOU NAMES OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE CELL PHONES...........HOWEVER, I WOULD NEVER STOOP THAT LOW....I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE SCARED I WILL "TATTLE-TALE" ON THEM...I GUESS THEY ARE SHAKING IN THEIR BOOTS....DON'T WORRY, I WON'T DO IT....I'M NOT A "SNITCH, " EVEN THOUGH OTHERS HAVE DONE MY HUSBAND WRONG........MY HUSBAND SAYS HE FELL IN LOVE WITH ME FOR "MY INTELLIGENCE," AMONGST OTHER THINGS........I AM A VERY DEDICATED WOMAN, TO MY MAN.

Fran, as simple as it seems the answer to "why would someone single Jimmy out" is that some people are just mean . They get their joy from making other people suffer as much as possible. It is a sad but true fact of life. Fran, I am starting to really worry about you. You need to take care of yourself and be strong for Jimmy. I know that is hard right now sweetie, but you really need to. Things are rough enough on you and Jimmy, do you want him to be worried sick about you because you have quit taking care of yourself. You have to be strong for him, as hard as that is right now. It won't help at all if you end up sick and in the hospital. Please, please Fran, you have to start eating more. I know your heart is breaking over this latest blow, but you have to keep going. Listening to you speak about you and Jimmy, it sounds as if there is great love bettween you. I think if something were to happen to you , it would just destroy your husband. Stay strong Fran, I am keeping you in my prayers, Cyndy
You really need to make sure you take care of yourself....even though it is hard to do "normal" life things, you have to or else you will waste away. You have to find a part of yourself that can disconnect from this even for a bit or else you will drive yourself crazy. I hope they can get him back into another half-way house soon.
