Thank you, thank you Lover

We got to go see princess this weekend and she is indeed a princess of the most royal of families. She is so different already. Even Agent B noticed that she is much more open, lively and happy. She didn't spend the entire visit griping about others or focusing on other's issues. She shared about some deep parts of her life and even admitted that it's hard for her to share, that she's bottled everything up all her life and is only now learning what it means to open up.

She is working on her GED while locked up and apparently has completed her biology and is now working on her history- which is amazing! She wants to keep working on it when she is "in the free" as she calls it.

Her release date is Jan.23rd if she completes her phases, which she is not doing very well on. She is still struggling to write her life story to share with her group. But she thinks they'll still send her home since her time will be up. I have no idea how it works, but the year is zipping by and it's hard for me to imagine that she will be out and an active part in our lives again after 2 years.

She has a lot of maturing to do- but she's 16. I had (and have) a lot of maturing to do too. She also seen and been through more in her life than anyone should have to face. And while she has a hard road to take, it seems a little brighter and a lot more positive with the Lover clearing her a path.

Cue William Wallace voice... FREEDOM! I know she will be glad to get out and get back into the real world. She is so young and has so much ahead of her. I hope the aheads are good things. You are kind to be a friend to her despite her problems. I, too, need to do some maturing. I think we all do until we get advanced in age. So enjoying the blog and hope you continue to write of these tales.

Sincerely,

Andrew
