Choices and Consequences

In my post last week I mentioned that by brother was away for up to a year and not of his own choosing. But the choices that he previously made lead to this consequence. He left behind my 12 year old nephew,Laine, and my brother is extremely depressed over it. Here a poem he wrote about Laine on a postcard to me.

"Constast Sorrow"
I can't stand the strain
The strain of the pain
The pain in my brain
The pain that wont wain
or drain, just stain.
The pain in my brain
is from the strain
of no Laine.
That is constant sorrow.
BY JMM 3/10

I love my brother but I hate the choices that he has made, the pain he is in, the pain he has put my parents in, but most of all for the pain of my nephew Laine. If you remember will you please pray for my brother Jody, my nephew Laine and my parents.

Love & Prayers
Carrie

Hey Carrie,
It's been a long time. I don't know why you're not on my google reader but I'm adding you now.

I can relate to the heartache of the whole situation. My little brother Billy spent all of his 20s in prison and he also broke some hearts along the way.

Praying for Laine, I know that must be so hard.

anyhow, I'll be back!
