Evening lovlies x

I am.so pleased the Friday check in is still going and I hope you are all keeping as well as can be x

For many of you my weekly check ins have involved my son HC and all though I decided to stop these HC became a big part of our discussions so I would like to keep you updated now and again if that is ok xx

He is doing really well, he received his results from his recent module of his Business degree and he got 95% amazing but more importantly the feedback from his Tutor was incredibly humbling ( he had a telephone call with him) to give him his results, he said (his words) his work was a credit to him, his understanding of essay writing was astounding, you should be so proud of yourself young man, despite your current situation do not let this detur or define who you are!

His Tutor echoed exactly what we tell him , for HC to hear someone other than us tell him was just ( made my heart want to burst)

Last weekend I did a double visit in one day, 2 hours in the morning and the same in the afternoon (poor him) first time we tried a double) in one day, it was really lovely we had so much to talk about ( early years, teenage years, young adult years)

His food consumption was! yep amazing

It consisted of huge amounts of bread (4 sarnies) etc etc etc and they actually had mini babybel cheese that's a first,

When I was leaving he said Mum I feel stuffed ( my comments, no shit) ;-) x

Have a lovely weekend

Love sent as always xx

I read the HC a lot as a bedtime story and often I think of you and your son. X

What an absolutely gorgeous update. You must feel so proud! And I hope HC feels very proud of himself too, because he really ought to.

Getting on in prison is no mean feat. Well done him. Testament to his warrior mum x

Thank you upset mum for the update. It is so lovely to hear how well HC is doing and you can read how proud you are of him. I know it has been said before, that it is such a shame that it took this situation to get to where he is are now, But it goes to show that the situation we are in can bring a positive outcome. So I hope we have more posts about HC. X

And so you should be proud. Through all the struggles and pain not only for HC but family too - he has stumbled back on his feet to fight and prove to all he can move on.

We are now firm friends Upset and I think of you as one of my loved family, in fact we discuss things I never speak to my family about. You are there for me continuously and although we've never physically met I know you one big shining star......

My son too is a changed man, in prison he has jumped straight in to experience different activities and push himself. His latest achievement was preparing and carrying out a small presentation / gaining a grade in his English studies. Not bad for someone that locked himself away from the world and has severe dyslexia..... I too am proud. This is what prison 'should' be like.

Non of us can tell what'll happen in the future but these 'positives' are SO important and thankyou Upset for your lovely update.
