#Repost @innocenceproject with @make_repost ・・・ Last week, Rosa Jimenez was released after 17 years of wrongful imprisonment. Since then, she hasn’t stopped “going and going.”⠀ ⠀ Her first stop was church. The day after she was released she reunited with her children Brenda, who was just 1 year old when her mother was wrongly convicted, and Aiden, who was born in prison and was taken from Rosa shortly after his birth.⠀ ⠀ “That was the first time I touched my son since he was born,” she said.⠀ ⠀ Rosa is also thrilled she was able to be part of her daughter’s wedding. Though her feelings are still “catching up” to her, she said being on the outside feels more normal than she expected.⠀ ⠀ “The only feeling I can compare it to is when you go on an exhausting trip, and when you finally get home you just feel like, ‘Oh, I’m home. This is where I belong. I’m where I’m supposed to be,‘” she said.⠀ ⠀ Read more about Rosa’s case and how you can support her as she starts over at the link in bio.⠀ ⠀ : Vanessa Potkin https://www.instagram.com/p/CK8AQFUhnPD/?igshid=5nqt4xcevrpt -- source link
