I know i don't share often enough but today is a little different.... and it is to Thank All of you parents who take the time to facilitate card programs and for all of you to take the time to write my Son (he can't receive cards only letters on white paper) handwritten letters. He just spent his 3rd month in the shu with no privileges at all not to mention he was sentenced to 30 years in a federal unit the day he turned 21, and has not a visit since then 2013(EVER). And this is because they have him in Virginia and we are just poor people from Texas, living check to check which rarely would allow for a 15 hour road trip to visit him. I said all that to say this Grant has figured out a way to get moved to Texas, but it requires several months in the shu as he awaits transfer to a SMU in Pennsylvania where he will spend 9 months before being moved to Beaumont........yes Texas!!!! The shu seems to be a place where anything goes and the guards really push that to the limit......but Grant has been alone for the last few weeks as his celly was released(yes he had a celly in that tiny cell) he receives letters on a semi constant basis from me and well, ME! I got a letter from him today asking me to Thank All of You parents as he received a letter everyday this week from you guys and he said that made it bearable because it helped him to realize even though they came and took EVERYTHING from Him his stamps, his paper, even his pencil and book but I can't say EVERYTHING because they left his Bible.......and He said that and a letter everyday of the week from you guys is how he did not break/////// So Thank You all from Grant and I!!!!! When he smiles I give myself permission to smile as well. I could never Thank you all enough!!!!
