Well we have been moved to Bibb County. I have been trying to get as much info. as possible but not much so far. I do know that my Fiance' is OK. He called today and is doing fine. I guess I'm the only one dealling with Bibb, but I guess someone has to be first. Maybe I will be helpful to someone else some day.

Hey - I've been a first on Kilby, Loxley, and JO Davis.

Guess you're not an Alabama DOC virgin anymore!

Hope things are going better for you now that he has finally been moved. Good Luck and keep us posted!:wave:

The initial fear and shock has lifted. I have talked to him and he seems to be fine. As a matter of fact when he called this evening he said he had been sitting at the window watching three deer play right next to the fence. Anyway, he seems to accept everything so much better then I do. Today has been a tear free day, and that's always good. Knock on wood, the day isn't over and I usually find something on PTO that brings on a tear. We are still testing the waters as far as certain rules and regulations but we are learning. I'll keep everyone posted.

((HUGS))

I just wanted you to know that I'm proud of YOU. Girl, you've come a long way in a short time and I've seen strength in you that I bet even you didn't know you had.

In my 19 months of dealing with incarceration, here's been the toughest parts for me:

1. The day he was extradited to Alabama.
2. The day he was arrested (it was more "shock" than anything else).
3. The parole revocation and 3 year set-off.
4. His diagnosis of Hepatitis C.
5. Leaving our first visit - I hadn't seen him in 3 1/2 months.

Those are the days I've cried the most. I've shed tears on other days, other set-backs, other hard times - but these are the days that stand out. These are the days when I just wanted to curl up in a ball and give up. These are the days I found the hidden inner strength and kept going.

You, my friend, have also found this strength and you will keep on keeping on - and you don't have to do it alone.

Thank you so much. When I hear people talk about hero's and Angel's I always thought to myself "there are people that I have admiration for because of their feats or acomplishments" but it has just hit me what the true meanning of a hero or angel is to me. When someone does something that makes you feel like you are someone, that there is strength inside of you, and that you are never alone in this crazy world of ours, then truely that is a hero to me. I truely have come along way since the very first time I came to PTO. Before it was an effort for me to do anything except check my phone a thousand times a day to make sure it was working, and of course cry. Since I have been coming to PTO I have went back to work, I don't feel like I need to see a doctor, and I don't feel like everyday I would rather be in a coma. I have learned to be thankful for the blessings in life that I do have, and being allowed to be a part of your lives I am truely blessed. That's how I feel about all of you. There is not a day that goes by that some of you are part of a conversation. I am truely grateful for being accepted. I have never met any of you face to face but I feel as if I have a closer friendship with you then I do with people I see on a daily bases. I just want you to know that my life is all the more better for knowing you and I hope one day that I can be as helpful, and supportive as you have been to me. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for being you, and for being an Angel to me.

Its SO great to see you are in better sprits! Glad to see things starting to get on an even keel for you. Just like we all assured you, things do get better, or you at least learn how to cope with them better, without having to stay in bed in a coma! Did you put up some fireworks to save for when he comes home? I did!!:yes: Got them right beside the Christmas tree in the corner!:dance:
Hope everything continues to go great for you, we are STILL waiting on my husbands parole release date, maybe we will know something on Monday. Hopefully we have only a week left before he gets to come home:wave:

Good Luck Bamb. You know they (anyone with authority), they don't seem to get in a hurry to do anything. We have been waitting for almost two months for the DA to get over being sick, being on vacation, etc.... There's no telling what she's doing this week. Hope he comes home soon. Not knowing always seems to be the hardest part for me.

Sweetie, Monica pretty much said everything for me already... I too am so proud of you for coming such a long way in a short time. You are a WHOLE lot stronger than you thought you were, that's for sure - and your strength and the positivity you have found since coming to PTO is an inspiration to me. :)

We've already talked about a lot of this but I'll just repeat that I am SO glad you are feeling better these days and you just keep hanging in there, girl. We'll all get thru this together and you'll never be alone, and the days it feels that way just hop on back to PTO and we'll remind you. :)

Big ****{hug}}}
