If I only get the chance to be outside again, to get my freedom back, to be able to hug my kids,  I would never lose that part of my life again. I promise. 

Incarcerated:  5 years
Housed: Fluvanna Correctional Center – Troy, Virginia

I’ve been a nurse since 2004. I had two beautiful children. I was a hard working mother and the best mother I could be. I wanted to make them proud of me. I lived life trying to do everything right. I never thought for one second that I would have to live life without my kids. I miss being a mother. I have the best kids in the world, ones a mother could ever pray for! I love taking care of my kids. We were each other’s best friends. When I was outside my whole life was to work hard to become successful. To be the best mother my children could ask for. I realize the things I took for granted, memories that come to mind when I reminisce. They sometimes bring tears to my eyes. Being incarcerated makes me pray harder for myself and my children. I was so broken and so were they. I taught them to pray when all else fails. As a praying mother, I’m still a part of the outside through my children. I’m included in their life as if I never left. I’m now the grandmother of a beautiful baby girl. God has shown me that my kids would be awesome while I am gone. I am ;proud of them. Everything I taught them while I was on the outside would make them stronger and unbreakable with the unfairness of life. If I only get the chance to be outside again, to get my freedom back, to be able to hug my kids,  I would never lose that part of my life again. I promise.

    Keshia after reading your bio. I would like to encourage you to keep the faith. God can do anything. Exodus 14:14 mediate on it. God is faithful and he keep his word. Change your thought pattern. Yes your body is there but not your mind and spirit. Ask GOD to forgive you of your sins. Ask him to guide you and lead the way. You shall have what you say. Speak it, declare it and believe it. Start declaring it I’m with my family, I’m living my life with Jesus and my kids, my is GOD, GOD gave me a second chance. IN JESUS Name I would be praying for you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
