Well, my "other son" has been transferred from the OCJ (where K is) to CP which is considered the most dangerous prison in CA. I am trying not to worry. I got a great letter from him today, and he sounded really positive. But of course that was prior to being shipped off.
I am trying to do what people keep reminding me to do "take care of myself". I am trying.
Thinking of all of you and going to go visit your blogs now....

If the choice was being at home with a cozy fire in the fireplace and loving people living in peace or being hauled off to prison, I would choose home. If the choice is an out of control life riddled with illness and danger and possible death on a daily basis, I'd choose prison. Addicts leave you with no good choices, only the best of the worst. Be blessed tonight. God loves your sons.
Madison, you are right. And both boys are talking positive and have good attitudes. I am hopeful.
I am worried that staying connected with Anthony is not good for Keven. I hope that it's not a mistake in the end.
Lacey, I know what you mean but I don't want to sever ties with Anthony, I love the kid. He and Keven are in agreement that they can't be friends or hang out together unless I am there in the room which will not happen for a long time since he's locked up again and this time its probably at least 6 months, maybe more. He's following in his father's footsteps :(
I can't turn my back on him. I am the closest thing to a parent he has and although I love him, my emotional investment in him is not causing me stress, it actually makes me feel good.
I didn't realize you are here in OC. I was just at an H&I meeting yesterday, and the AA jail panels are allowed back into Chino again (locked down after riots for months). Keep writing to Anthony and encourage him to attend the panels when he can. Just knowing that one person cares, might be just the thing that continues to give him hope. We all need hope before the miracle happens.
Kay, I didn't realize you were in OC either! And I didn't know that about the lock-down being over. I am hoping he writes with his address because I already have letters waiting to mail but have not been able to get his booking #.
