The Heartbreak of the Family

Hey Kay,  Hope all is well.  I wish our time together could have been longer, there was so very much that I truly need to talk over with you. Maybe someday I will get the change to pick up where we left off.

There was so very much that I wanted to do. Now with my health getting so bad, I can only pray that the day will come when Jeff will come home to me again before it's to late.  Each day when I open my eyes, I give thanks to the lord for a new day and hate Florida a little more.

I'm happy to be with my grandkids, just to watch their faces each day makes my day a little bet brighter. But "HAPPY" I will never be without my Jeff. For he truly is a very big part of my life.

The stress I deal with each day is more than I could ever put into words. My mind and my heart are as much in prison as he is. I go to bed each night and wakeup each morning with him on my mind. Each phone call brings tears and yes, more stress to me. And now there are no weekend visits.

All I can do is pray that I'm around to make that visit once again someday. When I was in Florida it made me happy to know that I was in the same state, now I wonder what's going on down there. And hate the fact that we are so very far apart. Maybe someday that will all change. All I can do is pray. 

But you see I have a very special friend named "KAY LEE"  who spends lots of time fighting for the INMATES who are forgotten by  most. I pray for her too each day. I ask the lord to open up those Walls and make the light shine in for all to see. MAYBE just MAYBE that day is soon. Then I will welcome a little more happiness into my life.

Thank you Kay for the time we had together, I will always be an e-mail away.

Hi All!
For most of you Jeff is well, He called here last night to find out what was going on. I guess he heard a little more than he wanted and is a little upset over some of the things that have been tryed. As they say " Do away with the family and bring on your friends. That doesn't mean all the family, just the ones close to you. Well anyway it's nice to be back. To my Family in Arkansas (Cassie Donnie, Charles, Di, Debbie and my Brother Eddie who's always there for me, And My godson Zack!! Love and miss you guys LOTS AND LOTS.

And to Kay Lee I'm back in the fight!!!!! And to all my friends, I hope to hear from you all once again real soon.
