So when is everyone going back again to see their Loved one?
anyone maken the christmas visit?
I'll be going in Jan (knock on wood) nothing better come up!
unless it's a transfer... and that would be just fine. hahaha

I havent been yet..I'm not sure if I can do it. :(

I don't know when I will get to go. Soon Hopefully. Even if I have to walk all the way there. haha

:D :D Need I say more??!!

I would sooo love to visit my man - but I can't get on his visit list just now. His mom and sisters visit with his daughter and they count as immediate family - for his two neices and nephew to be able to visit, they have to go on his list as his female and male friends because they don't qualify as immediate family. So there's no room left for me as a female friend. I'm prepared to be patient and I know that I will have my chance to visit when God wills it to be the right time. But when I read about the visits that some of you have had, it makes me ache to have the connection.

oh, Judy.... i just now got to read your last post on here... made me Sigh... I know what it is to have a ache... to long for something.. yet it's just beyond your reach it seems like.. but SO close... Your right, just be patient, gawd knows you need ALOT of that dealing with any of this.
Hopefully you'll get to visit soon. maybe when he gets his next chance to change his list ( every 6 months i think, but not sure) maybe he will be able to add you, so yall can visit.
just to see them in person.. to touch their hand.. makes the whole world spin out of control!
My thoughts are with ya hun, maybe you'll get to go soon.
As for me.... I'm still crossen my fingers... and counting down, 23 more days to go ... wow.. that sounds SO close... maybe it'll go by fast.. then SO extremely S....L....O....W... that day ! hahaha

Michele - 23 days - that's not long - but r-e-a-l-l-y long too!

How far do you have to travel? How often do you visit? How long is the visit? What's the best bit? The worst bit? Tell me everything?!!!!!!!!!

Just Judy

Yes Judy.. you said it.. it's SO close.. but still so R..e..a..l..l..y.. far away still. But I've done reallllllllly good with the time inbetween our last visit untill this one... so i'mma counten down the days now like eaten candy! lol
How often do i get to visit? not often enough! we have a long story... you said you wanted to hear everything? well here goes... LOL i'm just kidden.. but short version..we have knew each other... since i was born ( no joke) he has even changed my diaper as a baby hahah hows that? I'm 28 .. he's now 40 and with the exception of the "bars" we couldn't be closer. there was a big laps in time that went by with us.. before this past year, i hadn't seen him since i was 10 yrs old,when i last visited him. anyhow.. i tracked him down.. now theres nothing that will ever cause time to take a hold again to move us apart.
Our last visit was in October.. Yes that long ago.. see why a few Tuesdays now seem so close? If i could.. I'd visit every month, the visits there for him ( he's in Seg) is every 4th Tuesday of the month. I take his mom with me, so that she can visit him also. we get there Early... before they even open the gate lol... just so we can be the first ones in.. so far (knock on wood) we haven't been run out early before a visit is over .. they have a very small visiting room.. so if it fills up with people.. they start asking people to leave<eyeroll> they should have a bigger room to searve everyone. anyhow.the visits are untill 2 pm.. but they start callen them back about 1'30...the Best thing about it?Haven your world spin totaly out of control the moment the door opens and you see him.....<sigh> then you get a hug and a kiss that makes the whole world go away.The worst?..gah..not being able to take him away from that horrible place. haven to watch him walk away from you... wanting to do something.. anything... then haven to stand there...as they let you leave to walk out of the gates..by your self... knowen he'll never make that walk..People say it gets easier<shrug> I think people just get stronger.. or better at dealing.. or.. hiden their hurt at that very moment that you know .. you can't do anything to make it better. so you don't want to cry.. and make it harder on them... Then you drive home.. for me , it's a 5 hour drive.. so all the way back, your going over every moment in your mind... smilen.. cryin.. lookin like a idiot lol... but it's ALL worth it.

Michele - thank you for sharing all that - I really got the chills as you described it so well... I looked back over some of your other posts - your story is so amazing. It's quite a journey that you are on. There must have been some deep connection that made you seek your man out again after all those years. I'm counting the days with you until your visit!
Just Judy

Thanks Judy.... you now how it is... when your feelings get to rolling, theres no stoping them, i now the post was long... but, was how the answers came along.
Yes, it is some kinda journey.... sure isn't easy what so ever. The connection...<nodding head> very special, unlike anything i can compare it to.
Wishing ALL the best to everyone!
