Happy Mother's Day

To all the mothers of prisoners: 
You deserved better from your sons and daughters. You didn't deserve the shame of having a child in prison. You didn't deserve the shame of knowing your child harmed someone else. But you loved us anyway. You visited us, wrote us, took our phone calls, and most of all, you prayed for us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! Happy Mother's Day!

To my own mother: 
Thank you for loving me through my ugliest, and praying with me and for me in my darkest days. It must take something extraordinary to be a mother. God bless you! I love you.
