Please try to write and visit your Loved One in jail as often as you can. Contact with family means so very much to someone locked up. If you can afford it, please accept their collect calls. Maintain contact as frequently as possible, by whatever means available. If you are able to afford it, placing money in an inmate’s commissary account allows them to buy certain clothing, personal care, and food items. In the harsh setting of jail, these small luxuries can mean a lot.

Jennifer Hudson on family’s murderer: “It’s not his fault”
Proving that she’s a stronger and better than person than most, Jennifer Hudson has revealed that doesn’t blame the man who murdered three members of her family.
In a new interview with Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer has spoken about her brother-in-law William Balfour who in July this year was sentenced to three consecutive life terms in prison for the murder of Jennifer’s mother, brother and her 7-year-old nephew.
“I'm not letting him off the hook for anything,” she explains, “I feel like, for the most part, it's not his fault. It's what he was taught. How was brought up.
“We tried to offer love, but he was so far gone, he couldn't even see that. A lot of things came out [during the trial] that we didn't even know about from his upbringing. . . He never had a chance. He never had a chance,” Jennifer continued.
The singer and actress then went on to suggest that had Balfour had a better upbringing he might not have done what he did,
“Had he had the love that my mother gave us, or the background that some have, then he would have stood a chance. How could your heart not go out to that?,” Jennifer concludes.
We can only marvel at the level of compassion Jennifer has shown. And if that’s not heartbreaking enough, Jen has also reveled that now Balfour has been sent to jail she can finally visit the graves of her family, who were murdered on 24 October 2008,
“I haven't been to the grave site since we buried them, but now I want to go because I feel like, ‘Okay, we've accomplished this. We've done this. We got justice for you. We can't come back here empty handed. So now I feel like I deserve to be able to see them.”
Excuse us while we go have a little cry at just how brave Jennifer is.

How brave reminds me of the compassionate heart my grandmother had, when her son was murdered.
ReplyDeleteMy ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542
