Andrew called this morning. His voice sounds strong as it has lately. He asked if Taylor could put more money on his books. He wants to make sure he has enough money for his share of the movies he and his cell mate watch.
He told me they watched "Silver Linings Playbook" last night.
I told him we watched that together. I believe it was when we lived in Salem.
"Yup", he said. His voice caught a little.
I told him he'd passed the two week mark.
"Time is going fast", he said.
I wonder if it really is, or this is Andrew being strong for us.
Time will pass. I am looking forward to hearing about the meeting with his intake counselor. He said he is going to ask her if he can be placed at Columbia River Institution so he can be close to his baby and fiance. Also they focus on drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
I hope so too. I am also looking forward to him being placed in his next facility so he can start taking classes and working. It must be difficult having so much time in lockdown, in his cell. That was his biggest fear. But again, Andrew is rising above and showing us all he is stronger and wiser than we ever knew!
