Dustin Smith is my eldest son. He is turning his mistakes into a life with a purpose, helping people with their recovery, and discovering that he has so much to give this world. My son is in prison. My son is a recovery counselor and is attending college. I'm very proud of him, his personal growth, his ability to find light in the darkness, his desire to help others, and his ability to turn his vices into virtues.

With Love,

Dustin's Mom

Dear Sandy, Sending that love right back to you. Dustin has become an anchor in our troupe of writers. He is my gentle giant, quiet and kind... takes a ribbing. There is such tenderness and care that he brings to his work, I am sure it translates to life. He's such a wonderful poet, I am lucky to be slowly getting to know him. Thank you for reading, and be sure to check out Jai's work, they support one another and make each other better writers. tds
