I did something today that I never would have thought I'd be doing. I went to prison. I have to admit just how nervous I was. We have a nephew who is incarcerated. He has 9 more months left on his sentence. He went into prison right before Covid took over the world. There was no chance of visiting him then, and I don't know if he would have seen us. He was so desperately ashamed of himself. At that time I started writing to him - real letters. He finally answered me and said that he did not deserve a letter. I persisted and over time he had access to something like email. We have corresponded ever since and I have sent him books. The first one was a Bible which he told us he keeps by his bunk. He is in a faith based program and is doing so much better. He works in the library and is a tutor for guys that need to learn to read or work on a computer. We were not allowed to take anything in with us except our ID and stopped at 4 different stations to get to the visiting room. We did get to hug him. We were his first visitors. We will go again and I won't be anywhere near as nervous.
Oh what a heart warming story…I faved it for the story & good result. How happy your nephew would be to see family too after all this time. He’s sounds like he’s doing so well…tell him to be proud if himself! We can all fall y the way side.
God bless you! God doesn’t give up on us and we should show the same mercy to others. I pray God watches over him while he completes his time. I pray God will use you as His instrument in your nephew’s life.
