Brother in jail

hi ellen, I am sure your brother is upset with you , but he is also alone there so he will be happy to hear from you anyways, and i agree with the other comment , you should be honest with him, and let him know that it got harder to write when time passed by. So i am sure he will understand you. And also look from the other side writing is always easy way to explain ourselves, at least you don't have to speak with him after a year. So write and see what he will react. He is your brother he can not be mad at you long time. But you better keep on writing him don't delay that long again :) Have a great day!

He will be very happy to receive your letter and know that you have been thinking about him. Tell him about your situation and I am sure he knows about the economy going bad. He would be happy to receive a letter when he is least expecting. Tell him you always think of him and don't worry he wouldn't think of you as a horrible person :) Have a nice day!

If you want to write to him, just write as you would have the last time you sent him a letter. I'm sure that he'll understand that although he is in jail, you have a life outside of there and have other priorities also. You obviously had things going on in your life that needed taking care of, so just explain what was going on and I'm sure that he'll understand. If not, the worst he can do is throw your letter away. If he chooses to be mad about it, then he can just stay mad. You're not a horrible person, you're just human like the rest of us and had to deal with the wonderful thing that we call LIFE. I hope everything works out for you...keep us posted.

It is avery sad story to hear .but don't get up set bad time won't stay with you always One thing you should always remember However grat you are every human being will facew helplessness in their life. but it will soon go pray for your brother even I will pray for you to get power to see him soon every ones good wishes will make your wish fulfilled you will be able to meet yourbrother soon.

just be honest with him. He doesn't know anything that has been going on in your life. I think that he would be happy to hear from you. You don;t have to send money, sometime a kind word is better than anything else. Explain to him what has gone on in your life. At the end of the day I'm sure that he understands that your life has gone on with him gone. He can;t be mad at you for that. But do write him just to say hi. buy your stamps soon so you get the lower price. Good luck

Just tell him the truth. Say your sorry for not calling and writing, but your husband got laid off and it was hard for you to find the extra money to call him. Tell him you know that it hurt him, you not calling or writing for his birthday or christmas.Tell him that you want to start communicating with him again and that is why you are writing him. Im sure he will understand and be glad to hear from you. Good Luck!!

if it has been that long since you have wrote him, then you should write him right away. let him know that you didn't forget about him. just explain what has happened and let him know that you love him. has he wrote you in this time. no matter how hard your life gets you should try to remember to write your brother. let him know that you love him no matter what. even if you can't send money or phone cards. i'm sure he will understand. you should always write him. the people in jail really look forward to letters from family.

You aren't a bad person, it will just be difficult for you to contact him is all. Tell your brother what has been going on, tell him that things have been difficult, when you get the chance to contact him, of course.

hi ellen, i think that your brother may be upset from you. friend, be honest with your brother.friend, can you tell me what happen with him so that he is been in jail for quite some time.can he do anything wrong or why he is in jail. friend, i hope you should support your brother in tough situation like this.

Just write your brother and tell him the truth! Hopfully he'll understand! If you don't write to him alot at least mail him a letter for his birthday and at Christmas! I have a 23 year nephew who' been in jail since he was 18! I have never visited him but his parents do once a week! I do send him a birthday card and a Christmas card every year! He always writes back to thank me for cards! I'm sur your brother will do the same!

oh, that's too awful ! at least i think a birthday and X-mas greeting is the least you can still do under tight budget. See? it cost little. You can be frank, to tell him how your situation is, and tell him you often think of this brother and expecting him back all the time. So, to compensate, try to conncet him and give him your apology for failing to write to him on those special and meaningful days. Let him feel he has close relatives around him, to feel the warmth of the society and new life. good luck !

you should be honest to him..explain to him why you did not send him any news before and apologies to him.im sure he will understand you and i am sure he know how much you love him.it is never to late to do so if you had the chance. good luck to you =)

just explain to him whats going on right now, and how much you do love your brother, believe me, he will appreciate the letter from you.

don't give up on your brother,remember his your family, write him a letter and let him know you still care.just explained it to him what your situation I'm pretty sure he understand.

You should keep writing to him. And you should tell him that the life went bad due to the economy crisis...your delay in keeping up the writing may cause misunderstanding to him. You need to explain the situation to him to clear his concerns out...I'm sure he can understand.. Nobody will know how it is to be confined if you're not really confined...we couldn't feel how hopeless they are, and how many words they want to speak out...to vent their intrapersonal pressure, to pray for forgiveness...Thanks!!

Write him a long letter, explaining everything that happened to you and your reasons for not keeping the communication ongoing between the two of you. If he can't understand you, then just try to understand him that he's hurting. You're probably hurting too. Both of you are. But I don't know, I think it's worth the try you know? Better than not doing anything at all and living with all the build up emotions inside you. Like guilt maybe?

I know how you feel. My brothers and I are in the Army and get sent away quite often. With all that goes on on our lives sometimes we just don't get to talk to the guy that's deployed for a long time. It makes you feel guilty as heck....but doesn't change the fact that you love them. I hope all goes will for you. Tell him that you love him.
