As i read n read every persons story, I no longer feel like such an outcast.. And honestly im not sure if im on the righr page to share my story. This is my second attempt i think. My daughter has been in prison for 4 years.. I have been dealing with it on my own not seeking help. I didnt want to accept my truth, my life, my guilt, my pain. I didnt want to accept this is my life, my daughter got 15 to life. I never talk about my girl, i akways felt soon i would wake up from this nightmare n we would b normal again.. But it hasnt worked out that way, n through self destruction and feeling sorry fir myself, I am finally ready to accept, n still love my life and my girls life.. she is strong and has a beautiful heart. Mistakes in life took her there. I have to let go of the y's and the why me... As i read i see I am not alone, and our pain is the same.. i hope every mother will not get stuck in guilt, or self destruct like i have been doing... God is good and he does see us, and every once in a while sends us little miracles here n there.. thank u
as I sit and look back at the last 4 years I wonder how in the world did I get to where I am today. in the beginning I felt such a loss and yes guilt I really didn't know how my family got to this point a son in prison those are words I never thought I would ever have to say. ask Christina stated we are all in the same place different circumstances different situations but none the less we all share a child locked away from us out of our reach it took me a long time to realize that this is now my life. I have come to the conclusion that all things in our life happen for reasons unknown to us will we ever understand maybe not but through the grace of God I believe I came out the other side I have accepted what has happened I do not like it I mourn for a lost son I'm mourn for his dreams my dreams I'm sad that he cannot be with his child but I know that serve God anything is possible I truly believe that one day my son will walk and freedom with those as he loves and until that happens I just have to remain faithful.I have a favorite scripture that I always turn to Jeremiah 29:11 for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans not to harm you but to prosper you plans to give you hope and a future I hang on to those words knowing that one day my son and I will hug again and until that happens I will remain faithful to him I will remain faithful to my god I will talk to my son on the phone I will visit him as much as I can I will support him I will always love him unconditionally I pray for each and everyone of us as mother that the pain can subside and we will learn to all take steps forward much love to you and hugs prayers for you and your son and your family Deb
