I just wanted to let you know, my son P.J. was released yesterday after 2 1/2 years incarcerated in Dillwyn CC, VA. I am so grateful to God and everyone at M.I.S.S. who supported me through that first awful year, and supported P.J.with your cards and letters.
No jail or prison is a good situation, but I do believe P.J. was blessed to be placed in one that gave him a chance for rehabilitation and direction. While in, he completed his requirements for a CDL license and three welding certifications. He quit smoking and started working out daily. (I pray he keeps it up.) His girlfriend, Jenni, visited nearly every weekend, and had a beautiful little apartment set up and ready for his return.
Although I was unable to be there for his release,(I am in Nevada) I did get the opportunity to talk to him by Skype yesterday. His first time Skyping- and he was thrilled! I will be flying back to spend a few days with him for his birthday on Nov. 7th, and then again Thanksgiving and Christmas. He will get to see his new nephew (my daughters son, born Jan. 2nd) for the first time this week.
God Bless you all! And I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
