"I know the pain they're feeling..."
I want to tell other mothers that I know the pain they're feeling; the awfulness that comes because we don't know where our children are, the anxiety that comes around certain dates like birthdays knowing we can't call to say "I love you". I know the loss of joy in those days, because they're not things to celebrate without our children. I know, because we're all facing the same problem of not being able to see our children due to the fact that we're convicted and it is more painful to not see our children, or have the chance to talk to them then the sentence we have to serve".
