although he was in good spirts I cried all the way home.
tonight he called and said he saw the parole board,im baffled because he wasnt suppose to until sept. he is doing 18 months state jail and 10

tdjc. the parole meeting came without warning and we had no time to prepare,no support letters or plans to show. this is our system im so confused and dont know what to do

Cody having troubles with his unit manager

Ladies, My son is having so much trouble with his unit manager. Cody ordered a pair of shoes and a month later he got a letter saying they were out of the shoes he wanted. He tried to order a different pair, but was told, he has to request a refund first through his unit manager. Cody has asked him several times if he would sign the form to get a refund. He told Cody "it is not my job" Cody still has the same shoes they gave him when he got there..after a year later, they are pretty worn. Cody said he is not the only one having troubles with this guy. He simply will NOT do anything and keeps saying "Its not my Job" so much to list that that Cody has requested...simple things and he refuses!! anyone else have that problem? I am so fed up. I have tried to call his unit manager and only got his answering machine, I left a nice message to see how we can get his refund. He has not called me back. Grrrrrrrrrr...

When I was at my worst!

When I was at my worst, feeling so far away from my son, I read part of a poem that has never left me, literally, it is now tattoo my me! The verse is... I hold your heart, no fate can keep us apart. Our children, no matter what they do or where they are, they are always with us! God bless!

my story...

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

Prayers for Cody

Cody is going through a difficult time right now. When he first arrived prison, He felt forced to join a gang. Cody has changed his life so much and is a reborn Christian. He wants nothing more but to walk by faith with Christ. God is so GOOD. But sadly, the gang members are giving him a hard time for withdrawing. It could cost him his life. My spirits are crushed and I cant stop worrying and crying. I pray everyday and I do trust God will protect him, but it is still hard. Cody said " Mom, I will not fear, Jesus sacrificed for us and If I have to, I will sacrifice for him. I want nothing to with the gang and never have" There is a "rule" when you withdraw, first is to get beat in the face. Cody told them, " go ahead, do what you have to do, It will not change my faith with Christ" They did throw a few punches. One of the " Leaders" pulled Cody aside and said I am the only to make that "call" and I wont. I respect your wishes, but that it would be best to pretend to stay in the gang until August at least because that is when one of the other guys will be released. Could I get prayers for Cody? It would be GREATLY appreciated. I am so proud of him but I am very scared for him.

Mothers Day

April 10Dear Son,The Joker. He sits on my bureau for now looking at me. I was delighted to receive him. And even though you may not think that it was much, I'd like to describe what it meant to me to have it from you.Mainly the aura that I could feel from the card was real. I could feel you all over that card. And knowing that the last place that the card was, was in your hand, made it all the more meaningful.The scent was not unlike that of the plastic toys that you used to like me to buy for you. It was soft, like your skin was when you were a baby, and in my hand, it warmed just like your skin would have been.In other words, it signified more to me as my son, than any thing or object you could purchase in a store. Such is the meaning behind the holidays that we are going to celebrate with each other over the years.I love you more than life itself. Stay strong, and stay you.Mom

Transfer for court date

My son was finally transferred back to court for his arraignment he is in a prison 6 hours away and this court date has been scheduled 5 times since January so his atty and I have waited in court each time and DOC didn't bring him and now they bring him on a day when he isn't even on the docket. so I missed it and his atty had to run over there. So his sentencing was scheduled for mon and then I get a call that it was moved to today At least I was there today. I had been so worried because he hadn't called me now I find out he couldn't because they hadn't given him a PIN number to use the phone which I still had money in the account when he was there in dec he had asked constantly for it and they never gave it to him . On top of that they didn't give him all of his psych meds since he got there. Even though this jail is close to home I hope he is sent back Tom so he can get his meds correctly. This has been an ongoing battle at this jail. But the good news is that his sentences will run concurrently with no added time. Thank God. For small farvors.

My Son is released and back Home

To All the Mothers out there who have sustained me and kept me prayful & hopeful over the past 15 months I just want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I feel so blessed and grateful to have my Son home, released 12/22/2014 and that we as parents have welcomed him home with open arms & given him a "clean slate" so to speak. Forgiveness & understanding are tough, but through M.I.S.S. I never gave up hope or stopped loving my child. I pray each day & night for a more peaceful world & that NO Mothers, Fathers, brothers, Sisters, family have to face the legal system & separation from loved ones.

Where There is LIFE There is HOPE ! HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL!

Feeling Blessed & Sooooo Very Grateful to be with ALL of my children this Mother's Day!

Roxann
