Thanks for the update on JJ. It's funny how their actions can create an initial knee jerk internal reaction from us. I have to stop and think when I feel that "feeling" and get my head screwed on again. Glad you were able to do it quickly! Ha! They give us lots of practice, don't they!
Tattoos and piercings......oh well. The piercing can be removed if he wants to.....the tattoos are always another matter. My son has a tattoo of a lifesized sheathed knife on his calf.....huh? I don't get it but I guess it's not mine to "get". At least it's easily covered up with long pants...lol. I've also wondered how they can get piercings or tattoos in jail/prison. It would take a sharp implement.....they could put an eye out with that......wow....that was a "mother" thing to say, wasn't it? lol
This leaves you a free weekend to do whatever you want to do......so what are you going to do with yourself?
You and your dear son are always in my prayers.
gentle hugs
