Since Stephen was moved to this new unit I have come in contact with some very wonderful COs...I visit with my 5 kids every week and this one guard has gone out of his way to be helpful and kind to me and my children..helping me push my double stroller, carrying the baby for me, not having me wait as long as I should,and even giving us extra time to visit because there are so many kids..In dealing with the system for even such a short time as I have I have found that this is a rare occurance. I have thanked him in the past but would like to do something more for him and the other guards to let them know that they are appreciated (bring them food or something) but I wanted to know if you all thought this was an appropriate thing to do??

I would get a them something pre packaged and enclose a thank you note.. When I have done that, they are very greatful.

thanks shortie!!

you are more then welcome... I figure if we do something nice for them when we need it they may do something for you. It is nice to bless other people even if they hold the ones we love.

I think maybe you should ask your guy first, HEY DAVID, what is your take on this? My guy has warned me to to be "to friendly" as sometimes he gets grief on the other end, the same guards that were nice to me in the front lobby are the same ones that screw with him in back, telling him stuff like he will make sure our kid is well taken care of, that he will keep me company until Danish is home...in 17 years and laughs....I didn't think anything was wrong with being kind and I never felt the guard was out of line but apparantly sometimes a different spin is put on things. Just be careful. Thank You's are alwats safe.
