After visiting with our friend for about four hours today, we headed home.  It was a good drive, despite heavier than usual traffic.  And we are so glad to be home.

I always have a real sense of appreciation for the comforts of home when I return from prison.  Here I am free of anyone's rules but our own.  I can choose the foods I eat, the hour at which I rise or go to sleep.  I can listen to music, watch television, read books all of my choosing.  I can touch my beloved freely and without worry. 

I so look forward to the day, just eleven months from now if all goes according to this latest date, that our friend can return to these simple, blessed pleasures.
