Every day in my cell not being home, I overthink if my mom is still okay. Is she doing good? Does she have enough money for herself? How is her and my little sister doing? Is she/they stressed because I am in jail? And have things changed since I been in jail?
Are they hurt or emotionally hurt? I be worried sick in my cell everyday about them and to get them off my mind. Nothing ever works because they are always, always on my mind. I try to do things like play basketball or draw to get them off my mind, but it never does because I worried about them way too much.
It drives me crazy, but like she tells me and I tell them, stay strong and pray to God that I’ll be home hopefully soon, because they can’t keep me forever. I’ll be home eventually.
