2021

 Today is the last day of 2021. Tomorrow begins 2022 and less than 60 days until M comes home. 

He was declined parole again, although we were not surprised and honestly it would have reduced his time by maybe a month. 

The parole officer is supposed to contact us next week. That brings up a whole host of questions and concerns. We are pretty well known in our area so the chances are the PO will know who we are is pretty good. I guess we can only keep it quite so long. 

Wondering about how this will impact our lives is the biggest thing right now. 

Are they going to make surprise visits and expect to search our house? 

Are we going to have to lock everything up? Alcohol, guns, computers? 

I am supposed to get him an ID. How am I supposed to do that? 

Sigh

We will get through this. And he will be home. That is all that really matters. We are leaving the Christmas decorations up since he has missed a few. Although we may change our minds as we look at a Christmas tree for the next 2 months. I am excited to see him. It will work out.
