Rod Coronado's Family Vacation in OK!

Three more days until we are on our way to visit someone who needs our
visit!!!!! Yes, we leave soon and will join Rod’s son, and his mother on a
much anticipated visit with Rod!

This is the first time that his son has been to visit his daddy while he
has been in prison. It will be a monumental experience for him, and
probably answer a lot of questions that he may have about what prison is
like, who Rod is around, what the food is like, and all of those ifs,
ands, or buts. I think the only reference for prison he has is based on
Harry Potter and the Azkaban Prison. Yikes, that would put nightmares in
any child’s mind!

As you can imagine, Rod is thrilled! All of us together for three days! It
will surely fly by, but it is these special, sacred times that we all look
forward to, and then hold dear in our hearts once they have gone!

We are all staying together, and Maya is really excited to not only see
her dad, but to also see her brother! She, too, is excited for him to see
his daddy! Maya has made it clear that her brother will be the first to
sit on their daddy’s lap, because, she says,” He hasn’t seen him in prison
before!”. That is the biggest gift she could give, taking into account
that both of these little hearts long for their daddy everyday.

I would like to send out a deep thanks to all of those who sent in a
little bit here, and a little bit from there to help cover Rod’s payment.
He did indeed have enough money to cover it, and from the bottom of my
heart, thanks again! I would like you to know, it was the topic of
conversation every time we spoke, but I assured him it would be ok, and
his heart is lightened now knowing there is not any reason why he will not
qualify for half-way house time!
