I know I just blogged about him coming home in November but at times I’m extremely paranoid that he won’t because he has to make parole to come home and you never know what the board will say. I mean everyone from COs to his counselor and even the parole officer said there is no reason he shouldn’t make it. It’s his first felony and it’s the lowest class possible and nonviolent. He hasn’t gotten any tickets in prison and has done all his programs required and then some. Not to mention he’s got 5 or 6 support letters coming in from me, my family, and friends to show that he’s coming home to something stable. I also am going to sign him up for alcohol and substance treatment if possible. He goes to the board in July but we cannot be sure of when exactly. Usually it’s around the middle of the month and you find out their decision a few days later. I’ll be jumping like a hawk when that phone rings and checking the DOC site like 10 times a day to see what the results are. I honestly hope the parole members that look at his case and don’t make him stay longer just to be hard on him. You never know though, you get some who could actually care and maybe a few who are just like whatever and itching to get home to their leisure activities, put on their golf caps and not even care that they could’ve just impacted someone’s life tremendously. He’s learned his lesson and served his time. He’s young, let him out to do something with his life and be a contributing member of society instead of a drain which is what prisoners are being that they can’t really do anything else in there. I have no idea what I’m going to do if they say he’s got to CR (Nov of ’09) which is the longest that they would keep him. Let’s just try and stay optimistic and hope that doesn’t happen. If he does get hit it’s not without a fight and we know we did everything possible to get him home where he belongs.
