What would information technology hateful to marry someone behind bars?

Desmond asked me to marry him. And he's nonetheless incarcerated. It'due south been a year. Still no judgement. No verdict. I hate your hurt. I detest those lies I told yous. I want to marry yous and simply you lot. I want to look back from the end of our long life wedlock and say, "Await where we come from. Expect at what got us hither." I dearest you lot and so much, infant. Then much. Will yous honestly, honestly ally me? Baby, I want this with you forever. Forever lifetime with yous. Only you. What would it await like to marry Desmond in prison? Feeling that you're alone. Knowing that yous're alone. That'south the scary part. During courthouse hearings, the sheriff brings the inmates around back. It's hours of them sitting in a hot passenger vehicle with but breaks to use the bathroom. But I'm e'er there to see him, just to wave. Well, it's a large mean solar day today. Yeah. I know you've been coming here a lot. And I thought maybe — let's simply take a quick minute before we go in. Only talk about what's going to happen today. Today's a ruling twenty-four hours. The concluding couple times we've been in has been testimony on whether the evidence that the sheriff's department found on your fiancee equally well as many of his co-defendants should be admissible. Correct. So hopefully today is a good mean solar day. And she determines that that evidence was obtained unconstitutionally. Whether nosotros get a good or bad ruling, this thing isn't going to cease today. Aye. Unfortunately, nosotros're going to have to set another appointment. O.Grand. And probably a trial date, and probably a pretrial engagement, which allows usa to continue negotiations with the assistant commune attorney in their office. O.K. Hopefully get a good — an amicable resolution — Yes. — to the case. And hopefully a fast resolution. Because I know this has been going on for so long — Yes. — with your families. Then let's walk on up together. And if y'all have any questions, over again, simply, you know, allow me know, O.Yard.? O.Yard. All right, let's go. Practiced forenoon. Good morning. How exercise I see myself? Attractive. Beautiful. Glamorous. Having a happy glow off of me. With a cathedral railroad train. Lots of lace. Detail. Pearls, diamonds everywhere. I want to be able to say I feel happy. I'chiliad cute in this dress. I'm sexy in this wearing apparel. I want to be able to smile. Well, I was coming here to tell yous Sat me and Desmond getting married. [mother] What? [screaming] Girl, why you marrying a nigger in jail? What is it nigh fucking Desmond that yous got to marry fucking Desmond in jail? [grandmother] Kim, cease. Delight finish the hollering. Yous can through it amend than your — [mother] Why, she just said she'south marrying Desmond in jail. [grandmother] What? Tell me that again? [mother] She just said she'southward marrying Desmond Saturday in fucking jail. [grandmother] That's true? My heart is sorry. For what? Because I dearest him. [mother, screaming] Because y'all love him? [grandmother] Kimberly. [mother, shouting] That's all? If he was a real man, he'll tell you lot, Alone, I'mma see yous when I get out of hither. Instead, you're trying to help him. You can't even help your children and yourself, trying to assist fucking Desmond. Desmond's got family. Come up on, Alone. [grandmother] You got so much going for yous. Why? You know, dearest is — [female parent] I don't have nothing confronting nobody incarcerated. Shit happens to people. Life. I've dealt with that enough. I saw that enough. [grandmother] That's a bad decision. What point is it? What is it going to do for y'all? What is information technology going to do for you? [on cellphone] When I was living the mode I was living, I didn't even know me. Myself. I hated myself. I grew up with hatred in me for a long time. Long time. My teachers treated me bad — I was placidity. I was smart. A really practiced kid. Hurt me similar that. So I became a bad kid. My life so fucked and then on out. Every year. Every year since I became a class clown. Fighting. Lying. Doing what I wanted to do. I don't want to be without you. Yes, cheers for calling Cash Cow, where we say yes. This is Aloné. May I help y'all? OK, we offer payday, which is due back on your next payday. Nosotros offer title only if you have a clear costless championship to your vehicle. You can get a title loan on that. If yous're looking for a personal loan, nosotros don't do that. That would exist a finance visitor. You're welcome, no problem. Without my female parent's blessings it was like God'south intervention. Because on Saturday I was told the warden denied our asking for a anniversary. And I thought… now I have time to think. This system breaks yous apart. Information technology is designed, just like slavery, to tear y'all apart. And instead of using the whip, they use mother time. They use hardships. They may not hang y'all from the tree. Merely the feel itself is simply like when they used to hang people, but barely hang them and leave their feet only tiptoeing around in the mud, and then that they're constantly on their tiptoes fighting for their life. That is a daily feel when you are an incarcerated family unit. You lot are hanging on past a rope, tiptoeing in the mud. Only trying to get enough solid clay under your feet to still alive. I keep thinking to myself, what would it hateful to marry someone behind bars? What would it look like? Ten years of waving between confined, gates, courtrooms and lawyers? I go to bed at night holding myself. Not feeling that trunk heat. Not getting that human being contact. I have dreams that they are letting him out. And so I wake up, smiling only still sad. Still solitary. Still in limbo. And maybe that'southward how information technology'south going to exist for now. Held by time. Continued past love, and love alone. Who we accept get now, by the power of God, kept usa strong and hate-free, babe. I dear yous, baby. You lot are my forevermore. My wife. Forever.
