Morning Smile,

Hugs sent my dear friend x

You have the right to feel angry like you say you are living this awful life, while somedays are better than others it's the bad days that we think of more x

When we had a visit Saturday with my son we were talking about the impact this has on us not just him and for the first time I noticed the pain in his eyes not just for where he is but the victims, and of course us also

It's not they think we are all doing just fine they have become accustomed to the new way of living and anything trivial to us such as games etc is such an important thing for them, dont get me wrong I sometimes get angry as we would not be having to go through this had they not done what they did xx

And sometimes you have to switch off but you like me will get through it and will continue to support our sons however we choose to xx

Every emotion felt on the journey is justified. Ours and theirs. My husband won a bag of sweets in bingo around 3 weeks ago and hasn't chomped through them all yet. His hospital stay probably saved a few but his joy made me realise just how much value is placed on the things we take for granted on the outside. Gaming is something alien to me but my daughter and husband immerse themselves in it as an escape and form of relaxation. I guess that's why he's so excited. It's like me a bag of Percy Pigs xx

Evening Smile, hope your doing ok x

We like you were not prepared for him to be sent to remand following the second time they came to our home, that in its self took so long for me to accept our new way of life, I am fortunate I do get to see him but in time you will see your son xx and my offer will always be there to take you to see him if you needed support xx
