Diary of a Confused Black Woman

This Isn't Life!

Have you seen or heard that jail commercial? It's about how your family does time with you when you do your time. There is like an older brother and a younger brother and they are talking about how they both do the time. Well, that commercial is true! Random Fact #483 - I have more family members in jail than anyone else I know... There's my Uncle Killa - Murder, serving 30yrs min. has 18yrs left, Cousin Killa - Attempted Murder.Conspiracy.Murder for Hire, serving 40yrs has to do 85% which is 34yrs has 1yr and some months down so has 32yrs left, Cousin Caught-Up - Acessory to Armed Robbery, serving 4yrs & 9mos. has 15mos. left, and for space purposes we'll skip the other six and go to Cousin Stupid - Conspiracy.Armed Robbery, serving 8 yrs has 7yrs and some mos. left.... What's the point the point is everyday I'm writing a letter to keep their spirits up, to make sure they aren't loosing their minds, to make sure they are ok! To me...that commercial is true, when someone in your family does time...you do that time with them too! No you aren't in jail but missing that part of family when it comes time to have family settings (holidays, bbqs, dinners) you miss that part of your family! That's all! Like Jeezy says, "don't shed a tear nigga, shed a thought!" Everyday I shed a thought!
