Hi!

My son, Zach--age 8, would like to talk to other kids in the same situation. Are any of you game? I'm going to put him on here to introduce himself. He always sees me on here and has no one his age that he can relate to and them relate to him. Most of the kids at school don't know........Here he is----- Deb

HI

My name is ZACH and my dad is in prison. Is your dad in prison? I don't like the food at the prison . We go to visit him every 2 weeks. It takes us 4 1/2 hours to get there.I sleep all the way and play my gameboy. I play hockey.Do you play any sports? I wish he was home.:fb: Can you write to me?

ZACH

My kids are to small and have not meet David yet but I do have a niece that has a uncle that is in prison and they were real close before him going in she is so upset most of the time cause of it. She writes him everyday and drawa a letter and she gets a letter from him like 3 or 4 times a week she lives with me.
she 8 years old and in 3rd grade and maybe it could do her some good to talk to other kids about this stuff .

Nichole,

Thanks. Zach is excited and smiling. Can she respond on here to him? Later if it works out maybe we can set up a time and day for them to chat. On his intro you had mentioned the chat---he either gets off at the college (where I work) or at Boy's and Girls's Club and then has hockey at night----but we're usually home for sure about 8:30 pm at the latest. Unsure what time that would be for you guys. He bugged me to get up this morning to come and check and see if anyone wrote back. Thanks. Can she respond on here?

Deb

MY KIDS ARE 13,12 AND 10.THIER DAD AND STEP DAD ARE BOTH IN PRISON SO THEY HAVE IT REALLY BAD SOMETIMES.MAYBE WE CAN GET THEM TO TALK TO EACH OTHER.

Jessesgurl,

I know that my son would like that a lot. He feels alone in this. All his sibs are older and he has no one his age or even close to it that knows that he can talk to about it. He tries to keep it hidden from his friends cause of what they'd say etc...

What position do you play Zack? HOCKEY RULES!!

Er, I'm not a kid either...though I do get told to grow up all the time.

I play hockey in a men's league, I'm a forward... left winger. Just wanted to drop by and say Hi, I know you must miss your dad alot...but keep him upstairs in your melon and he'll never be that far away.

all the best

Jeez, I'm a butthead...someone just pointed out to me that I keep spelling your name wrong...it's Zach!!

Sorry bud...stay in school or you'll end up like me, I have lint between the ears.

deb · #13 11-19-2002, 06:27 AM

Toe,

HI,

I am just getting ready for school. I play all positions. But I like center best .Last year my coach said I was the best defenseman holy! I got a hat trick last year and made 7 goals. I would have had 10 but the whistle blew. This year I made 1 so far. It reflected off my stick. Did you ever get hat tricks?

ZACH :fb:
