That's awesome, Been, yes the forums have been nice! I respect you and some of the others just took the high road and ignored the rude commenters, Debbie downers usually see themselves out sooner or later when they realize no one is willing to pay attention to them! All is going well here and I am still enjoying my correspondence with inmates. Lately it's been slow but they are very busy with work, as am I. I make sure to send in lots of photos though !!! I am happy to do so. Lots of good opportunities for pictures now that the holidays are approaching.

Been, it is a battle. It sucks at times, knowing how powerless a loved one is in the system and how much the system sets up inmates to be stereotyped and fail at a second chance, and they do their best at trying to make the loved ones look bad too. All you can do is hold your head up high and keep on going, and I'm glad you're working hard to fix things. Your presence and gentle guidance is missed on here!

Hey Been,
thanks for asking and for the hug. Giving you a bear hug back. Just the usual things, as someone with a chronic disease I'm used to that kind of stuff. But nonetheless, good wishes are always taken (as I give them away freely as well). So, I hope you and your family will sail smoothly through it all.
As for TX, of course, I'll keep writing in. I won't stop after a year and a half, just because of the decision of a parole board. What would you think of me, really, eh? ;-)
Take care, will keep you posted when I get a letter back.

Hey Kirsten, hope your health improves soon sending my best hug over too you, sorry to hear about your penpal, I’ve been there many times it is disappointing he is probably trying to get his head straight, sometimes you feel like your gonna be denied but it’s still such a blow, keep doing what your doing even if he doesn’t respond it really helps when you give up in there and others won’t let you, if you hear how he’s doing let us know.

Everything's ok, thanks Been. Not the best of all times I ever had (my health been a bit up and down the last few weeks, too), but then again, hey, it's how it is and compared to 95% of ppl in this world, I'm in a very privileged situation, so who would I be to complain?
What's worrying me is my TX pp a bit atm. He got his parole denied (this is TX, right? In a few other states he'd probably be a free man by now. Under supercvision, yes, sure, but nonnetheless) and I haven't heard from him since the parole board gave out the bad (but expected, at least by me) news. I wrote in twice, but no reply. I hope he isn't too depressed to get back. So that's a bit of me worrying, but, other than that, no.
The rest is fine and the former pp who was released in July got a job three weeks after and kept it and is adjusting and doing great otherwise. There seems to be a little lady also, at least there's a name being mentioned more and more often, but I won't beat around the bush. ;-) I'd be happy for him if it worked out, though.

Hi Been!!! It’s nice to see you too. All is well here (-: I just got off the phone with my LO, and things are pretty busy in life but I have a feeling this will be a nice week and autumn will be lonely. I am so glad to hear your family is doing well.

Dude! Welcome back! And here's hoping it's all smooth sailing from here on out!
But in the meantime, inquiring minds want to know if you were able to sneak in some contraband pop tarts and ice cream while wifey was in the hospital. Well??? WELL??? Spill it! And if you haven't done so already, please do so NOW!

Really great Been. I've been busy with work and kids. I managed to have 3 visits so far with hubby, and planning a 4th for this weekend if they get off of lockdown. I love him being at a facility that's close by, unfortunately, his ADX packet has been submitted to the central office. We figure that takes 30 days to decide, and then 30 days for him to appeal it.
