I was explaining to someone that doing the time you’re given is the easy part. The support or lack of is what makes the time all the more real. I’ve spoken on my ordeal in regards to my 1st born and the time I had to do away from her. Once I got “sentenced” by the courts....I had to face another judgment from the community around me. In this case, the ppl my daughter lived with. I recall one dey after months of calling collect with no answer (went 5 years without seeing my daughter) out of desperation instead of saying my name as I made this particular collect call...I stated....”please somebody pick up the phone..please ”...I can’t recall if I was in tears but the result of those years are set in stone. 😇😈 I’ve never shared that with anyone before but it was my reality then. Since my release from prison back on April 23 2010, I’ve had more children, 2 boys and a year ago todey....the universe bestowed upon me an opportunity I once lost. Raising a daughter, in the year since her arrival has been so therapeutic, her presence has truly been healing. In looking back, not living with my 1st child/daughter was a big mistake I made(her and her mom could easily have been living with me) but I was not wise enough to know better then. I think even if it didn’t change the path that lead me to prison, it would have done us both some good just being around each other. I now believe to have a child and not live with the child(if possible) is counterproductive. Prior to last year, I would usually make a post once a year about my release and experience before or after prison. But it’s like the universe is saying. “I see your efforts and pain so here’s more reason to celebrate in April.” Enter....Malisha my 4/20 flower, you can say my head as been in the cloud since then. 🥰🙏☮️ . . . . .
