Day 21
Mother’s Day
It’s hard to put my feelings into
words here. Today I called home in the afternoon to talk to everyone
who would be at my house. Everyone was there as I expected, and when
they said how they missed me it made me feel like a bigger failure.
Then I talked to Nana and she told me she thinks about me all of the
time and misses having me around. It took all of my strength to not
start crying right then, and even now as I relive those moments. I
told her I’m doing my best to come home as soon as possible and
that I loved her and missed her so much too. I can’t describe how
it felt to hear her say that to me. My family haven’t been much
for showing affection and expressing love for one another. I started
trying to show it a little a few years ago. It started small by
saying I loved them before getting off the phone with them while I
was in the county jail. I hope it grows to be a more common scenario
after I leave. I’m still not quite used to this open display and
expression of love.
