I’ve been through a lot, and I’ve survived a lot. Coming to prison saved me, otherwise, I might not be alive.

I miss my kids and my family. What I miss most about being outside is the time I spent with them, going on trips, enjoying family outings, and having so much fun together. Seeing the smiles on their faces meant everything to me. That’s what brings me comfort now, knowing I’ll be home with them in less than a year. Being incarcerated these past six years has made me look at life in a new direction. My family will be surprised and proud to know that I’m a changed person, ready to make smarter decisions. I’ve been through a lot, and I’ve survived a lot. Coming to prison saved me, otherwise, I might not be alive. Thank you for thinking of me.
