The time has come


Good Morning Everyone

The time has come to put everything I've learned to the test.  My son will be released next month and I have decided to help him get started  with a hand and love but I promised myself I will never again engage in his business. 

He has done well for himself in prison.  He's a Per Counselor, teaches self awareness classes, welds, trains horses, teaches guitar classes, writes for the prison paper and is learning every thing he can about life. He has grown in prison and I think he's a better man for it.  

I again want to thank all the people here that has help me though this....I will never forget.  My love and hope for everyone is that life can bring us peace and bring us closer to our HP.

I am grateful.....

((( EVERYONE )))

Carhy -

I'll keep you and your son in my thoughts and prayers! May he continue to grow and learn and lead by example on the outside. I am certain you'll do just fine, one day at a time.

(((Hugs)))
