It's almost over

My son has been in prison for 3 1/2 yrs, I haven't seen him in 4 years  and he will be released Oct 2 nd. In less than 35 days I will see him getting off the bus and bringing him home.
I can't wait to see him and just hug him and have him here to reconnect and help him towards a new life.
I have been buying him things he will need like clothes, toiletries and will be getting him a pair of boots because he has nothing left and his belongings are the house in Florida where he got in trouble.
I am just scared he is going to have a problem getting a job due to felonies against him. He needs to be productive, he needs a lot of luck.
It will be so nice having him sleep in a calm, quiet safe place and to be able to eat real food and take showers privately, things he has been unable to do for the last few years and wear real clothes instead of a prison uniform.
This Thanksgiving and Christmas will be the best ever with all of us together. The last few have been difficult. It's been pretty impossible feeling the Christmas spirit when you know your son is in prison.
I am glad this is almost over, I just can't wait to see him.
