:cuffs: :) These two things don't usually go together. But I want to let you know one of the good things about Matt being in Attica. I have a cousin that is a CO there and has been for several years. He is in contact with my sister who lives in Pendleton,NY. He keeps his ear to the ground about how Matt is doing. Matt is not familiar with this cousin of mine. In fact he recently asked me if I knew a CO there. He said one had asked him how I was doing and he was thrown by that. Ofcourse I had to let him know that I did know who that was.
My sister also knows a retired guard from there and he is in contact with his friends who are still working there. These two men keep her informed on how matt is. When he was going through a depression not long ago, I was emailed immediately by my sister. It is a real miracle from God that this circumstance happened at all. I know through them that Matt has not gotten any tickets or caused any problems since he has been there and that he is going to be moved to the honor block soon. I wanted to share this with you becaise we all need to know that good things do happen. Have a good day all.

Thank you so much for sharing.

JOHNMATT'S MOM, WELL I WAS GOING TO WISH YOU A HAPPY VALENTINE DAY, AND I DO, BUT THERE WILL BE NO KIND OF VALENTINE WISH THAT COULD BE ANY BETTER THAN THE ONE YOU GOT ABOUT YOUR SON MATT, YES GOD DOES WATCH OVER OUR LOVED ONES, SEEMS TO ME LIKE MATT HAS HIS OWN GURADIAN ANGEL WITH HIM THERE IN PRISON TO WATCH OVER HIM. I AM SO GLAD FOR YOU, YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARE ON CLOUD NINE, AND YOU HAVE A REASON TO BE, ENJOY YOUR DAY AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

So happy that things are good there... The honor block is a good thing!

that is a great story. helps calm your nerves a little bit on how he is doing. that is very fortunate to have. thanks for sharing.

ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE LOOKING OUT

Yes indeed good news! It just goes to show me that we should never give up before the miracle happens. Thank you for sharing it with us!!!!

Sharrol, that's wonderful. Moving to the honor block will be a good thing... my boyfriend has been in the honor dorm where he is for some time and it's always a relief to know he is there. Many congratulations...

I think that's awesome! I'm very happy for both of you! :)

Great news! I am happy for you :)

Dear Sharrol,

There really are no coincidences. What I mean is that God placed those two CO's to be where they would do the most good. Your son is one of the lucky ones. Take care now.

that sounds great!!

Had to respond to that. Have lost so much of my faith -- but
there is an angel on his back. Some one sent it. How nice.

i WILL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR RESPONSE. mATT HAS HAD ANOTHER MIRACLE OF LATE. BUT FIRST BEFORE I SHARE THAT WITH YOU I WILLTELL YOU THAT I AM PRAYING FOR AN ANGEL FOR YOUR LOVED ONE. GOD HAS SEEN FIT TO DO THIS FOR MATT AND IF HE CN DO IT FOR HIM, HE CAN DO IT FOR YOU AND YOURS.
MATT HAS BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME. HE IS A YOUNG MAN THAT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL ARTIST. NOT MY OPINION ONLY. A FAMOUS ARTIST JUST RESPONDED TO AM E MAIL OF MIN AND OFFERED HIM A SCHOLARSHIP TO HIS ONLINE LESSONS. SINCE MATT CAN HAVE NO ACCES TO THEM WE ARE TRYING TO GET THEM IN A FORMAT THE NY DOC WILL ACCEPT. WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED ON OUR LAST PHONE CALL, I ALSO TOLD HIM THAT THIS PERSON SAID HE WAS VERY VERY GOOD AND NEEDED ONLY TO WORK ON HIS PORPORTIOS . hE WAS ELATED. THEN I MET A GENTLEMAN ON LINE THAT LIVES IN MY TOWN. HE IS A GRAPHIC ARTIST BY PROFESSION. HE SAYS MY SONS WORK IS GREAT AS WELL. THE MIRACLE IS THAT THIS IS JUST THE BOOST TO KEEP MATT DOING WELL. I AM GOING TO POST MORE OF HIS ART IN THE GALLERY.
AGAIN I AM PRAYING THAT AN ANGEL WILL GUARD YOUR LOVED ONE.. ASK MICHAEL THE ARCH ANGEL TO BE SENT OR ONE OF HIS WARRIOR ANGELS TO PROTECT YOUR LOVED ONE ON THE INSIDE. WHEN WE AGREE IN PRAYER AND STAND TOGETHER ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. GOD BLESS YOU AND I HOPE YOU HAVE GOOD NEWS SOON.
