Hello everyone.My name is Erika and this is my very first time blogging.My husband is Ben and he surrendered to FCI on Jan.5,2009. He seems to be doin okay. I want to say thanks for inviting me to your group. I have been trying to pull myself together so I can go on with day to day living. I'm pretty much still comin to grips that he will be gone for a while. We have an 8yr old lil girl that was very close with her father.I know there are some things that I could possibly be doin to make things a little better like getting a 304 local number or getting his case evaluated to see if it is appealable.I realize that I have still been in shock.Please do pray for me as I will be praying for you all. If there is any information that someone feel that may be helpful please do not hesitate to let me know.God has made us all strong women. I do believe that what we all are going through is challenging but we can do it. Its things like this blog that allows us to try to encourage and inform one another.
