They took Eddie this morning.........He told me last night he would call me today if he was still here....he never called. The site online said he was released to prison at 1:38am....I don't know where he is....probably the Doral area... He could be there 2 wks to 2 months...but will call me asap....I have no idea what to do next....money, mail, so much to learn......we were just settling into the jail routine......
Please pray for our family........

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
Don't allow the bad thoughts to come in and stay....kick them out...stay very busy! Cry of course, but don't stay down, it is harder to get back up. You know what I mean. It would be easy to go to bed and never get up, but that is not a good option. Fight the blues before it hits harder.
Even in weeks to come, reach out for help if you need the encouragement......keep you and Eddie in the forefront of our minds.
Sometimes so many come in quick we don't want to miss helping ones because we are busy with them that we forget those recently imprisoned after trial or plea.
So reach out whenever you are down Barb. I know with myself I want to help so many but grief scrambles your thoughts and histories become blurred. And thoughts so mixed up.Shopping lists are no longer possible in the head. You walk in the door and viola you forget everything.
That also brings up....write down stuff for yourself...you will have distracted thoughts and have difficulty remembering things
.....that does get better.
You will have grief spurts but remember...he is alive. His life or yours is not over. Many peoiple do fine.....Eddie probably will too.
Well...you know I wish he was with you instead. For now...that is not to be....
someday he will again...maybe sooner than you think.
Anytime you know where I am. Here!
Usually! LOL!
Love ypou Barb!
One last thing to help keep the spirits up work out...walk briskly 20 minutes a day. Get those endorphins doing some of the good spirits stuff for you...makes it easier to do what you have to. Get rest, drink soups. Treat as if ill. Be very kind to yourself. And get lots of love from friends.
Love Rhea
