Just 4 more days and a wake up ( thats what she calls it ) until my mom gets to come home. She comes home on Wednesday. I am so excited. We have to be at the gates of Alderson at 7 am to pick her up. It being a 4 and 1/2 hour trip we are gonna leave the night before so we wont be worn out. I cannot wait. She called me today and told me this is her last work day that she had a team meeting and they got her to sign her release papers and travel papers. She also gave me a grocery list to go and pick up some things to have waiting on her lol. Oh and of course she wants to stop and get her a GOOD MEAL on the way home! She said the food there sucks and she never wants to see Turkey again. The ladies there are so nice, they had her a suprise going away party yesturday. The guards are telling her by and hugging her. She says shes gonna dance as she walks out the gates and ALL the women that know her are gonna be there watching her dance lol. Poor thing I bet she does some square dancing or something. I want to thank everyone on here who helped me through the last few months. I would have lost my sanity had it not been for you guys/gals. Good luck to all and if anyone ever needs me please send me a message because I will still be checking in. HUGSSSSSSSS

Thank you!! I am so happy. God speed in all those away from their families

Congratulations!! Be sure and have your mommy visit PTO's new "welcome home" forum!! Drive safely! :thumbsup:

Well folks this is it, tomorrow around noon I will be leaving to go pick up my mom. I am so excited. She called and said she is so excited about coming home. She keeps telling me to make sure I am not late haha. Shes more worried about getting a good meal I think then the actuall leaving the prison. She said for me to thank you all for being there for me during her time of incarceration ( think I spelled that right) anyway thanks to all and wish me good luck. I will check in on Wednesday to let you know how everything went. Bye for now

Hi everyone. Well MOM IS HOME:) YIPPEEEEEEEEE! I guess most of you know it has been raining for the last 2 days so when we got there to pick her up ot was pouring. I got out of the car and got on the phone and told them I was there to pick her up. About an hour later there was about 6 ladies standing close to the gates waiting for R & D to bring her out so they can say bye to her. Well wave not say bye because there not allowed to talk over the gate to each other. Anyway once we seen the truck coming out with her in it everyone starting cheering. I started crying, my aunt jumped out of the car depsite the rain. I had been standing outside in the rain but with the umbrella already for an hour. I know it was stupid of me when there was a vehicle right there for me to wait in but I was so excited I couldnt sit still. When the truck came through the gates she got out and ran to me and started hugging me. I felt like I could hold her forever. But then my aunt grabbed her and guess what?! yes you guessed it, they started dancing AND SINGING! OMG if I wasnt so darn happy I would have ran off right then lol. They hooked arms and started sqaure dancing LOL I about died! It was so much fun and we were so happy. I wish I could have taken pics but I couldnt because it was pouring the rain. :( By the time we got in the car we were all soaked. There was a few ladies that yelled bye to her regardless of the trouble they might get in. We left and took her straight to get breakfast. Every bite she would take she would go MMMMMMMMMMMMMM GOOD FOOD FINALLY! She said everything looks so good outside of the prison. INCLUDING THE MEN LOL She ate so much she got sick to her tummy but she survived and ate another time on the way home. When her husband seen her he hugged her like 15 minutes the she went all through her house checking things out. She is home tonight, gonna sleep in a soft bed and beside someone that loves her. Im so gald shes home now and I can go see her whenever I want. God I pray for each of you that have loved ones in prison, hang in there because the reunion is wonderful. Again I thank you and she does to from the bottom of our hearts for all your support when we needed it most. I wish I could hug each and every single one of you.
