<p>March 28 is the BIG DAY </p>

<p>Tomorrow is sentencing for my son. I have a lot of faith in CC, and it was through here I contacted with someone who can be of use on my son’s journey in prison. I can sleep a bit better because of my many and persistent outreaches on CC. Thanks to CC !! I really appreciate all the messages of support I have received here. Perhaps I can be a resource to people who may have a problem in the future. My news isn’t all bad-yesterday my youngest son found out he has funding for his next year in Engineering !!</p>

<p>3/28 Update:</p>

<p>He’s gone now, but it went REALLY well. There were only 2 people to be sentenced,and my son went first. I took a sedative this AM so I was calm, but still "there ". I hugged my son for about 30 minutes before he went up to the judge. They cuffed him and led him away and that was that! It helped a lot that the attorney is the dad of his best friend and has known him since he was 7. It was the best possible outcome in my opinion.</p>

<p>Moderator’s Note.</p>

<p>Thank you for updating us, fauxmaven, we’ve been thinking of you today.
Hang in there!
Often the prospect of something is actually scarier than the reality.
Glad to hear the outcome was a good as could be hoped for.</p>

<p>This post is really dated on the 27th of March. We had to correct a glitch.</p>

<p>You’ll be in my thoughts tomorrow, Faux. You may be interested to know about an organization called University Behind Bars, which brings college classes to inmates. My daughter is volunteering with them as a tutor helping the instructors, and says it is really appreciated by the inmates who come. I don’t know if it is available everywhere, but wanted to share something that may be of help to your son eventually.</p>

<p>I have just recently read your earlier posts, Faux, so haven’t posted. But since reading them, you have been on my mind. You have been so candid about your situation and I feel quite sure that even if others here haven’t experienced what you are going through, at some point there will be someone who is in a similar situation and will find comfort from your words. I will be thinking good thoughts for you and your DS tomorrow. Good luck. And congrats to your other son…nice to have a bit of good news, I am sure.</p>

<p>Sending cyber warmth and strength your way, fauxmaven. These next few days will create so much internal angst that you really must allow yourself to feel however you do and not expect anything more than just getting through them.</p>
