Times are changing for sure! It seems as though the world is so much busier, never enough time, not enough space, too many people, and not enough Grace. Its not that we,(Jesse & I) don't think of you, we talk about you often, and I know we should keep in contact more. Jesse works very hard, he sometimes doesn't get a day off for weeks. He is up before the sun, and does not return home until way after dark. He does this because he wants the very best for his Son, our Grandson Tyler, and Liz. It also keeps him out of trouble :) I also work many hours, I witness Gods Glorious Sunrises every morning on my way to work, and His Beautiful Sunsets on my way home 6 days a week. Sunday is my only day off, but I am at Church early to help prepare the Church for Services, and after Services, I have a weeks worth of stuff I have to catch up on before I start all over on Monday. I do this because My Husband is disabled, and no longer able to work. So I need to do these things to help take care of my Family, and it keeps me out of trouble :)
So please dont ever think that you are not in our thoughts, we are simply just trying to keep up in this busy world, (Out Here) that is everchanging.
I enjoyed reading your words. You have an interesting take on an age old issue. One that appears to an outsider to be even more skewed behind prison walls.
When I hear the word racism, to me it simply translates to hatred. I believe racism is taught but I'm intrigued by the reports of the segregation of people by their race within the prison system, in that environment it appears much more about fear and the need to make allies in a place that is truly life and death.
I believe every life has value, and the loss of any life as a result of fear and hatred is shocking to me. Thank you for sharing your perspective on Tiny's life. I hope he rests in peace.
I will spend that time posting here and mailing cards to my son because I love him and miss him and in the end although he is very angry with me I do think he loves me and would do what he could to protect me once we are reunited. I hope I live until 2025 to find out. Jeremy I love you dearly. I sent extra money to you for Christmas and the check has cleared the bank so I hope you are getting the money. Love you. Your greatest fan is back.
The new doctor sent me to some specialists and I got the diagnosis and the medication. So I am now coming out of a cocoon hermit state. I started posting here and I began sending cards to my son again. I stopped working overtime at work because I finally realized that it is just a job and when I am gone someone else will take over the position. The last employer laid me off at ten years due to the loss of contracts with their customers. They had moved me more than once so that I could keep the job but finally the last ten percent layoff got me. It did not matter how much time I put in or how hard I worked or how much my boss liked me. I always got good reviews and my bosses always liked me. They defended me if an issue came up. But in the end it was my boss who called at 3 pm one day and told me I no longer had a job. I was devastated and moped around for about two months and then moved to the state that I am in now. I worked as a temp at this job and got hired after ninety days and now have ten years there. So now the tide has turned. I may get fired. I am 54 and not sure how well I will be able to find another job. I have finally learned my lesson and my time will be spent taking care of my dogs and my birds and trying to get my very messy house in order.
