Melissa,

You're really a talented writer. I came to your site at Between the Bars accidentally and I read every one of your posts. The way you describe prison life is amazing. Most of what I see on tv regarding women in prison seem to glorify it in some way. In fact I'm pretty sure a few years ago I saw a show from one of the women's prisons in Georgia.

I hope that you continue writing. I will keep checking back here to see.

Best of luck with everything,

Chuck

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how it must feel. They say that the person who suffers most from anger, resentment and bitterness is the one who feels those things - not the target that they are directed toward. You are so wise to give that stuff up. The place you live in is by nature not a happy place and can encourage those negative feelings - so to choose life, to choose light, to choose rising above it all and let go of the negatives - well that is HUGE! Keep writing - it encourages others and the shared experience can bring back encouragement to you. elisabeths
