Thank you for sharing Sunrise. I'm doing ok too, but I do worry about what will happen when he gets out. (I don't let myself think on that too much though.) Your story helps remind me to keep myself on track also. Trying to remember.... NO expectations.
You're right, it doesn't make alot of sense about the houses and him not getting to take his property with him. I'm sure you'll be hearing from him soon, though, and you'll know in time. You sound like you're doing well and remember no matter what happens with him, YOU'RE going to be ok.
