His was 10 or 11 years old when I left the area. I had just got married. I knew he was mad I was leaving but I thought he'd be O.K. I was wrong. I remember somebody telling me he was getting in trouble but, I got in trouble and I didn't think much of it. I wish someone had stopped me and explained what KIND of trouble. Time went on and my mom died and his mom died and I moved back to the area. I picked up the newpaper one day and there was his picture. He was a little older than the 10 or 11 year old who had stuck out his lip when I told him I was married and was leaving town. He was 19 and accused of Armed Robbery. My little nephew. We're only 9 years apart. He was like my little brother. I changed jobs and he changed prisons. In 1998 he was accused of trying to escape. 1 more year. His release date now stands at 2023.
I can't shake thinking about him and I don't know why. I've thought about him for the past 2 days, each day his memory getting stronger and stronger. And thats how I found all of you.

Welcome to PTO and the Extended Family forum. I also have a nephew in for life for murder. Not a day goes by that he's not on my mind. If you ever need to talk, please don't hesitate to PM me.

Thanks Lisa, You're a sweetheart!
