Hi All!! Just wanted to Say That I am Waiting For This weekend to get here so I can go back up and see Stormy!! Does anyone here go to Visit there Loved One Every Weekend? If so, Does it make thingss easier or Harder for you? Im just wondering! I Loved my Visit with Stormy last weekend!! It was very hard to leave him! But I knew that I would be able to go back and see him This weekend! I also hung up all the Pictures we had taken last weekend at work so I can look at them while I am working all day. Pictures are the Greatest thing to have, so you can feel closer to the person who is not with you right now. Well, Thanks for listening everyone!! Take care

tweetie: i have a great friend here in nc that's incarcerated, and i go every weekend to see him. we've missed a couple visits lately (his family came up from florida and then i went down to florida to see my friend on death row), so i am really looking forward to this saturday! how is seeing him just about every weekend? GREAT! i love to see the big smile on his face when he sees me, and he tells me his visits get him through the week, so yes, it's worth it! how lucky your friend is that he will now have a regular visitor!

I visit my husband twice a week--Fridays and Sundays. I treasure those visits--just sitting with him is truly magical. However, each time the visit ends--he goes through one door and I through another--it tears at my heart. I find it harder each time. It has been almost 2 months since he went in (he has 18 left). Still, I wouldn't trade my time with him for anything. I send him a card each day and he calls me every night (10 minute chat only--300 minutes per month Federal). We are in this together and each work at our relationship within the confines of this situation. It is a challenge--but I know that once we get through this---our future will be one of joy because we don't allow anyone or anything to break us.

I used to visit my husband every weekend and when he was still on Riker's Island waiting for sentencing, three times a week. Now it's once every couple of months because he's so far away. At first it was so hard not to see him but like everything else it gets easier with time. When I used to see him every week I'd be hysterical crying every time I left but I think that was more because he had just begun his time then having seen him so often

I used to visit every weekend, but I think this phone thing I'm going through made me a little shallow and I stopped going. I haven't been to see my baby for two months now and he's only a 45-minute drive. He is such a good person though.

Thanks So Much To All Who Replied, Creamy, I have a Question for you, You said you were going through a Phone Thing? Whats that about? I know that when I left Stormy on Saturday and Sunday Last weekend, it was very hard for me to have to leave him there. But the Pictures we had taken of us together, and His Letters that I receive from him during the week help to get me through!! It is Finally Friday, and I didnt think this day was ever going to get here!!!! :) He knows that I will be up on Sunday to spend the day with him, I told him I was not sure if I would make it up tommorrow or not, depending on my Work load at work. I will know by the end of today if I have to work tommorrow or not! Hopefully I can get everything finished by the end of today so I dont have to go into work tommorrow! He is Very Understanding, He Understands that some weekends I may not be able to make it up there both days to see him! Hang in there everyone!! Have a Great Weekend!

Hi Tweetie. Hope you made your visit to Stormy. Was it as good as you had hoped for? I sure hope so.

Got to see my son again today. This is such a treat after having to have kept visits to ever 6/8 weeks when he was in N FL. Now with him so close to home, I plan on going at least twice a month - more if possible.

After years of visits, for me it never gets easy to walk away and leave Jack there. It tears at both of our hearts. I live just over a mile from the prison (by choice) and we visit both Satuday and Sunday, unless I have to work. Right now we are very blessed to be in the same county and have the ability to visit and call so much. And, as much as I love every moment of it....still, late at night...when I first slip into bed, or after being away at work for three days and coming home to an empty house....my heart still cries. Hang in there and know that your feelings are understood here.

Hey Tweetie, I visit my soon to be husband every two weeks or so. I have to drive 700 miles round trip though, so I am always looking for someone to share expenses with. I just recently hooked up with another lady from Los Angeles, who is a woman of God. We have a great time going up and back talking, praising God and sharing our hopes and dreams for our husbands. While we can't visit on a weekly basis, we talk frequently, unless he's on lock down, like he has been for the last few days :( Oh well, it's all in God's plan. Just need to work it out and get to the finish line!!

Hi All, Just wanted to write and let everyone know that my Visit yesterday with Stormy was Wonderful! The time went by way to fast!! I didnt get to go up there on Saturday because I had to work! But yesterday we had a Wonderful Day Together! We got to talk about a lot of things, and Talk alot about the Past. He feels so guilty that he left out of my life many years ago. Yesterday he kept telling me he was a damn fool for leaving me yearss ago. I looked at him and told him that we cant change the past, all we can do is hold on to what we have now!! I know he feels really bad for walking away from me years ago!Yesterday he said he keeps thinking about how things would have turned out for us if he would have stayed around. I told him we were both young, and wild back then. Now that I found him again after all these years it is like we have been given a second chance with each other! And that is all that we all have is today! Prisonmom, I am glad that you had a nice visit with your son yesterday! I hope that he is doing well!! Well, I have to go and start getting ready for work. I hope everyone here has a wonderful week. I will post again soon, Take care everyone!!
