Day 1 without my husband
November 6, 2015
Today my husband appeared in court and plead guilty to 1 count of possession, distribution, and viewing matter of a sexual nature depicting a child. Some images were of 13-15 year olds. The court sentenced my husband to ten years imprisonment. Shortly before noon, his parents, aunt and uncle, and I were able to hug and kiss him and say see you later. Now, I'm home alone, and it's breaking my heart that I won't be able to see my husband every day, kiss him goodnight, hold him, argue with him, or get that text message telling me he loves me and be able to reply with the same. In AR on a first time offense of this nature, the presumptive sentence is community corrections and alternative sanctions. The prosecution recommended the max because of the age of the individuals in the images. I do hope that God will protect my husband during his incarceration and that his spirit isn't destroyed. I do NOT regret standing by my husband during the last two years-for better or for worse. Well, this is definitely the worst. I need the strength to carry on and maintain this home.
