First of all, it is not my plight but my son's plight. I am not angry at my son and if you have read all of the posts, you would understand why.

I believe my son and stand behind him fully. I have had a close relationship with my son and have always spoken with him prior to his incarceration about many different things in life good and bad and indifferent.

When he said he was innocent, I believed him and still do. What led to his incarceration was unfotunate and upset and affected more than just him. He knows it, and it adds to his heartache, but it was not planned, anticipated, nor was it his fault really. Sometimes, things do happen because of others jealousy, hatred, fear, etc. This is the reality of the world we live in.

I was angry to a point that...................I thought I would never return from it, but it was not directed at my son Victor, but at society as a whole, others individually, etc. It was even directed at myself for allowing my son to go away and not saying no to him, or doing something or saying something else at that time. But who knows what I could have said? I was disillusioned, disappointed and in pain, but I thought of my sons pain and tribulation and therefore, I had to be strong yet again. God is indeed good and I have faith in Him more than I can say.

This is....................one of those times that my faith will shine and my actions will dictate that faith. My son will do the same if his faith allows.

Love, Faith, and Hope will win in me if I do not give up and practice this way continually no matter how great the pain and/or effort.

My son deserves to be:

respected for he was a good person prior to being put into prison,
loved because he loves so many people just because,
asked for forgiveness for the hurt caused him,
helped to restore his life that was taken from him,
reunited with his only son and child,
and have his freedom returned to him just as quickly as it was taken because he has done nothing to warrant his captivity in the first place.

Victor, as I have stated before, was and is a good-hearted person who was a victim of racial bias, being young, immature, naive, and so very trusting.

As far as spiritually, I believe God has a reason for everything and that I may never know the reason why, but God does not do anything bad, so Victor is in good hands. No harm has come to my son and for that I am grateful I apologize for this being so lengthy. I get carried away emotionally at times.
Thanks for taking the time to read this through.
Be Blessed & Happy Holidays!
