Happy Holidays

Hi,  to all my friends, I' m sorry I've been away so long but since my Mom passed I just haven't been myself. I am isolating more and have been very depressed. I have been seeing my therapist weekly and my med's have been altered but it hasn't seemed to help. Nine years ago tomorrow they took my husband away from me so that makes this time of year even worse.  I have been praying that the 2 point reduction helps lower his sentence but we won' know for a while, he sent in his paperwork for clemency too but again it will be some time before we hear anything, I'm not getting my hopes up. If neither work out he has 48 more months to go and I don't know how I' m going to get through it but I know I will somehow.
I have been trying to catch up with all of you and reading some of your journal's and you all seem to be doing OK, I' m happy to hear that. I'll try and write again soon, my computer died so I have to use a tablet and I hate it. Love and peace to you all.
Hugs,
Pat

Wow Pat, I just read your journal. I am so sorry for all of this. NINE years with two to go. I would go nuts. Already am.

I watched the news tonite and in MN some sheriff\'s and the Salvation Army are finally looking at us.. families with people in prison. They know Christmas is hard for families, and so they got a huge amount of toys etc for the kids of prisoner\'s. People are helping wrap them including cops and then I think they said they send them to the prison\'s so the Dad\'s can actually hand their kids gifts from them for Christmas. What a great idea, and long overdue. If I were in MN, I would of volunteered to help. Something like that where we are being recognized for the hardships and sadness is well overdue. Maybe next year you could see if you have people doing that in your area. It would make you feel good and concentrate on other things. I want to.
