This is Christmas Day

I have a son out there that I haven't seen since June 2010, he is in a Florida prison, Time moves on but it sure as hell doesn't get easier. I never in my life imagined having to go through something like this. Although I totally agree with doing time for crimes, that punishment is a necessary and useful tool in society but a parent of an incarcerated child also does time. The State of Florida has the control, I do not. I have no say when I can get my son back. As his mom my heart aches,in spite of his wrong doings, he is my son,my firstborn and I miss him, nothing is really the same, hasn't been and won't be until he is free again and we can be together, his siblings and me. Wishing my firstborn Christmas peace, blessings, safety,strength,love.....
