The pedophile wants out of prison

[sleeper]

Just today I dropped in for the first time in a long while, saw your posted question.

Short answer: I don't know.

Long answer: The whole parole hearing thing (fact it came up outta the blue, got postponed, weren't adequately informed by authorities, etc.) had a much bigger effect on me (and X) than I first realized or expected.

I asked X since my last post if it had affected her and she indicated it did. We experienced much of the same stuff (disrupted sleep, buried memories brought to the surface, etc).

I've done some self-evaluating lately. In short, I know who I am but I'm no longer sure what I believe, about much of anything.

I still miss my family at times

Don't see myself in a new one

Hang in there, Sleeper, it is hard time of year. I am so sorry about all the pain your family has had.

Sending good energy your way

Thanks Forward. We shouldn't have to deal with that again for 10 years.

You gotta make the most of what life throws at you. My son had surgery recently and wasn't looking forward to being on crutches during a break from school. The other day we were out shopping and he fell behind. I looked back and said, "Come on, Tiny Tim." It's become a running joke between us and now he always responds, "God bless us, every one." You should see the doubletakes and smiles we get from folks. If for no other reason than that, this may be the most memorable Christmas ever.

...as he closed his hundred post thread and disappeared from cyber-sight, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"

Do stop in sometimes, Sleeper, and let us know how you are doing. Some of us have been on this ride a long time together and want to know how things are for our cyber friends.
