Received my first letter from my son and wow I'm 100% gobsmacked, 3 sides of perfectly neatly written script. Not bad for a dyslexic that before prison could only manage a line of words. So impressed (and happy).

It's just proving he is trying very hard to move forward and that's all I want for him.

Thanks ladies. Like I said even if he copied this letter - he did say someone had helped him with spellings - it really is a MASSIVE achievement for him.

Although the content was great I was more overwhelmed by the progress he obviously is making, especially as education has been very much hit and miss.
