convicted of child porn possession last December.The former “19 Kids and Counting” star — who is housed at the Washington County Detention Center in Arkansas — turned 34 on Thursday.“Josh’s birthday will be a sad day,” a family friend told Fox News. “He has children, a wife, he has a family, and he doesn’t get to see them, so his birthday is going to be tough.”It is likely to be his first of many birthdays spent in prison, with the father-of-seven scheduled for sentencing next month.He now faces up to two decades in jail after a jury found him guilty on one count each of receiving and possessing child pornography.However, the anonymous pal said the jailbird will have a harder time missing out on the birthdays of his kids.

Duggar and wife Anna are parents to Mackynzie, 12, Michael, 10, Marcus, 8, Meredith, 6, Mason, 4, Maryella, 2, and Madyson, four months. “I wouldn’t say he’d be centered upon himself.

He’s going to miss the opportunities to spend with them,'” the friend said. “Every day has got to be tough. That’s going to be part of what he has to go through as he goes through this.”Anna is standing by her man, and her strong Christian faith is a balm for both her and her incarcerated hubby. “I know the family and their faith is what will get them through anything, period.

Even if they don’t like what he did or what he was accused and charged with and found guilty of, they’ll always stay by him,” the friend continued.
