Hey Joe, Once again I want to tell you how much I enjoyed your blog. You were so right about this site being a blessing not only to you but to us also. Just want to say once again that "The Prayer Sisters" keep you and your family on our prayer list. We have been together as a Prayer Group for over 30 years and your Mom and I were there from the beginning. We have prayed together, laughted together (a lot) traveled together and cried together. She is my sister... I send you much love and many prayers Joe. God bless you, Jan Wilkinson
Joe, It was great spending time with you yesterday. You are such a blessing. It's a joy seei9ng and hearing what God is doing in your life. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. You are special to us. God has a big plan and I can't wait for the revealing. Love you lots. Aunt Jenny
Ronnie, just to say that your new blog site is great - top of the line for bloggers. Professional. Are you doing ok? What is your penpal situation? Sorry to hear about the demise of things there at UCI, try and keep your spirits up. I wish you the best as we all do, keep posting and take care. One thing they can't take away from you is your mind and spirit, hang on to that - you can do it. Hope your Mother is doing well, share with us how she is.
Hello there. I'm replying to your second blog post. I've read them all in the past hour or two. I believe that fifty years from now America will look at this mass incarceration or punishment without rehabilitation as the great scandal of our day. I don't think the majority of Americans are ready to hear it yet, but as more and more of our loved ones and family members are affected by the "justice system" it will come to be a prime issue.
I encourage you to keep blogging and thank you for all you've written. The corporate run media does not do a good enough job of highlighting the incarceration explosion and we need to hear from people on the inside.
Hey Uncle Tracy, it's me. I'm sorry I've never written to you, I didn't know that I could write to you like this and you would actually get it. I miss talking to you everyday like I could when I lived in Walterboro. I hope your okay, and that you've been well. Even though it's been awhile I want to reconnect, you will always be part of my family no matter what you've done or haven't done.
Just meeting you, although I have known about you, but certainly not the real you as you offer on this blog. I am sincere in my thanks to you, Brandon, and I will write to you, if that would be okay. More importantly, your positive spirit about the surgeries and rehab is truly heartwarming. I really pray for your full recovery. Ted
I agree. My son did not tell me that he was not a heterosexual until he was an adult. Long after the time when I would have assured him that it did not matter because he was well loved and would never be abandoned for it. Maybe being locked into a prison is a very bad reason for almost completely abandoning the young man. I just hope the man can realize that family really does love him and that it is a short coming on their own part to go months and months without letters or cards. I would not be able to say it long enough or loud enough if I thought my love was not understood as a crater that would like to close around the man and provide warmth and support until the end of time. I am certainly that crater wanting to be able to do something that is not allowed. My visits have been denied for years now and books that I purchased for my son have been returned. It is difficult to understand why I am punished as well as my son by preventing any kind of contact even through glass. The government always has to have their nose in our business and they should be ashamed for keeping a mother from a child no matter how old he is. The mother will not live forever but will have to continue to live alone until death takes over. I miss J so much it physically hurts my heart.
