[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 94867, member: 97"] Thanks. My son has a wonderful loving, generous and funny side. I love him, and will continue to pray for him. He still has the letter you wrote him as well. [img]:smile:[/img] I got to thinking these past few days about things, and watching other moms of older kids here struggle as their kids went to jail, one after another. I do not think it is easy for people who have not been there done that to realize that some days all you [i]can[/i] to is to "look in the mirror and say good job"- because sometimes that is all that keeps you from being crushed with grief when your son or daughter moves on to state prison or into the court system. you need to know you did all you could and need to be reminded. sometimes you cannot simply pick yourself and start a new hobby, or find things you were always wanting to explore...sometimes you must go a different route. sometimes it takes longer to mull things thru. I am thinking.. knowing me ...I will probably get "locked" more on my posts here as my focus is growing apart from some others here. Ant has given me much experience in parent heartache and I cannot help but speak up when I see others in turmoil on paths I have already walked. I spent some time researching sites and found one for Christian parents whose loved ones are in jail. many of the sons there are older than ant and have much worse offenses, much longer terms in jail...I will read more about it as I am a newbie to the state prison system, a very diff ballgame than county jail.
