One day away from vacation and in my mailbox is a letter from my son. When I felt the envelope I felt pictures so I thought he'd sent some new pictures of himself. I tore into that envelope looking for pictures of my handsome son to find 2 of the 3 pictures of myself that I had sent him, these 2:
Needless to say I was a bit "perplexed" as to why he'd sent my pictures back so I immediately began to read. He didn't waste ANY time getting into the reason he'd sent my pictures back and I quote:
"Your pictures are BEAUTIFUL tho! You look GREAT but I don't put these types of pix of you in my book so I'll send these 2 back! I've been fighting since elementary school due to the fact that you're 'attractive' I guess, I don't need that rite now!" *smiling* That truly made my night! My son has not seen me since Christmas so he had not witnessed my weight loss transformation. He also went as far as to FINALLY admit he and I look JUST alike, especially since I have no hair. (laughs)
He is now going in to the Commercial Foods and Culinary Arts training offered at the prison. I am SO proud of him for making use of this time the Lord has given him on this earth behind those prison walls. He speaks with so much sense now, his attitude has really changed and I pray it continues for the better. There is not ONE person who can tell me MY GOD is not GREAT!
Love you son! 2 more years to go and we'll be done with this so keep your head up high, know that this is GOD'S blessing for you and your life and keep HIM first in all you do!
