My son was just sentenced last Thursday ( 1st time incarcerated) . First Holiday without all my children . I think there will be a lot of firsts in the next few years. Relying on Jesus Christ to ease the pain. He is off the streets and that's a blessing
I'm right with you. Drugs have taken nine years of my life with my only son. But by the Grace of God, this prison time was the best recovery time he has had. Almost 15 months. Don't get me wrong, he can get more on the inside then the outside, but the fact he has chosen not to makes me a proud mama. Yes the drug sentences are so harsh. My son was not dealing, was not stealing, no violence no victims and he got 6-8yrs. Thankfully he has almost completed his minimum and will be home next month. Tell your son to keep his head up, and keep busy. Do whatever is available. Reading, church, Bible studies, sports if available. If he's in longer than 2 yrs, he should be able to take courses or trade training.idol time causes trouble. Good luck, and I hope and pray for Gods blessings in this situation. Holidays and birthdays are hard at first. Seeing that empty chair.
Drugs have taken away the son I raised. Taught how to ride a bike . Woke up to a fish dripping on me because he was so proud of it and remembering building many huge lego sets and tickling his back at bed time . It amazes me that although I know he needs to pay for his wrong doings. The sentence is more than what child rapists or murders get make you wonder if the system is a numbers game or for the rich who can buy themselves a high priced lawyer. Anyway I will look to the good as it states in the Bible All things are for his good. May my son come to know Jesus.
