This past April my son was arrested for being with someone who commited a crime. He is still in jail and is being charged for the same thing as the other person. When I first got the news of his arrest, I felt like someone shot me in the heart, I was so upset that I found it hard to function. It will be a month on the 12th of this month and yes it still hurts but I've been able to go on with my everyday routine. I have prayed for him everyday that God just keeps him safe.
I know he is having a hard time and he just wants to get out of there, heck his whole family wants him out of there. When I talk to him I let him know that it's in God's perfect timing that he will get out of there and that he just has to be strong and patient.
I have been through a lot of things in my life, but this has got to be one of the hardest, because as a mother, I want to protect him and do everything I can to help him, but my hands are tied, there's nothing I can do, and I feel so helpless, like I've let him down. I know that everything he is going through is not anyones fault but his own, if he would have only listened to his family and stop hanging around people that think crime is a carreer he wouldn't be where he is now.
He wrote me a letter begging me to get him out of there and not to give up on him and please don't forget about him...as if I could.
Why don't kids understand that just because they grow up and become adults doesn't mean that the loving, caring and worring from their mom's (parent's) stop. They need to understand it never ends.
