Quentin texted me at 5;30 a.m. He saw on the DOC website that Andrew's release date is May 26, 2021.
My heart began to thud. This was 17 months, not the 13 his attorney had calculated!
I was nervous all day. I hoped he wouldn't call and hear the stress in my voice. When my daughter got home from work, I casually mentioned it to her. She told me that Andrew knew this. The 4 extra months was trans leave that had not yet been calculated.
Instantly, I relaxed. I still don't understand the trans leave concept. When I have more time I will look it up.
I spoke to Andrew later, but we got cut off. I think they were ordered to their cells. I didn't mention the release date. He sounds so positive and strong. He is looking forward to the book I sent him. It is about great NBA players. He said he would also like some history books.
I love looking up books for him. I have to order new ones from Amazon. I think they only take paperbacks, so as an experiment, I am ordering cheap ones in case they are returned. I just ordered him a book about D-Day. He should be getting them before Christmas I hope!
I also wrote on Facebook to our friends that I am sending books in case anyone else wants to contribute. I also mentioned contributing to his phone account. I'm a bit worried since I am off from teaching until January 11th. Inmate phone accounts are expensive, but so important to stay in touch.
I have to run.
To be continued tomorrow....
