I spoke to him today for about 20 minutes. I could hear the sadness in his voice as one more year is a long time. Although the Lord has answered my prayers and has spared my son's life by taking him off the streets and locking him up, it's still difficult knowing he has got to do this in order to make a change for the better. Locking him up to deal with his own demons and having to face them head on. Once his time is over, I pray that this will all be behind him and that he can return to a normal life. What ever that may be, just some sort of peace and calm to resume back in his life.

Heavy heart
My heart is very heavy tonight as it was this day. Tony leaves for state prison in less than 3 weeks. I pray to God that he will be safe and that he remains in his hands. As a mother, it is still very hard to swallow that your son has made mistakes and he is accepting of his penance. Good, bad or indifferent - He is still my son and I love him unconditionally.
