Welcome to the site. I’m a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. My husband (Dean) served 13 years
incarcerated; we have been married 35 years. I belonged to a “secret club”; a
club no one wishes to join, a family member of a prisoner. We are out there: at
work, at church, at the park, in the grocery store, and rarely do those around
us know that our life includes visits to a prison. Our colleagues try to “set
us up on dates” or think we have an “imaginary friend" (husband). A reality for many women, a life of
tears, struggles, perseverance, and hope. “Club” members never ask, “What are
they in prison for or what did they do?” Instead, we offer words of comfort to
one another in the halls walking towards the visiting room and ask, “How much
longer?” The purpose of this site is to give encouragement and hope to women; especially those who have a loved one incarcerated. For those women that have never had a loved one incarcerated, perhaps you will find insight into our lives or simply
draw encouragement for your own struggles. Regardless of why you are here, pull
up a chair, grab a cup of coffee or tea, and sit awhile.
Big Daddy Weave sings
a song My Story.
"If
I told you my story
You would hear Hope that wouldn't let go
And if I told you my story
You would hear Love that never gave up
And if I told you my story
You would hear Life, but it wasn't mine.........
Oh to tell you my story is to tell of Him"
You would hear Hope that wouldn't let go
And if I told you my story
You would hear Love that never gave up
And if I told you my story
You would hear Life, but it wasn't mine.........
Oh to tell you my story is to tell of Him"
God writes His story
in our lives, if we are surrendered to him. His story of my life
is one of forgiveness, redemption, and reconciliation.
