First visit to Limestone

[In Due Time]

I went to visit my ex for the first time since Feb. 2011. I have to admit, it felt good to see him and that he is doing well and healthy.

My husband self-surrendered for some warrants on April 18th so he's only been gone for a couple of weeks, but I know what you mean when you say it felt good to see that he's well and healthy. I went to visit him last weekend and even if it was through bulletproof glass, it was still nice to know he was okay.

I don't see how some make it seeing their man so little. I have to see mine every time he can have visitation. I would go insane if I couldn't see him twice each month. I just couldn't do this without seeing him and hearing his voice so much. I would have a breakdown. I don't know how to get used to being without him. It's the hardest thing I've ever done in my life! Thank goodness we only have 7 months and 3 weeks now. I'm counting every week down! We are on a sliding slope now. Happy you two enjoyed your visit.

It is very hard we only get to come down for one visit a month and it kills all of us (my husband, son, me and his grandmother) but we try and talk on the phone as much as possible and we write back and forth everyday (my husband and I) we pray his time goes quickly and he gets home soon

When we have the three week stretch between visits when there are 5 weekends in a month, it almost kills us both! We both start getting really heavy hearted because it's so hard to go that long. I couldn't imagine only getting one visit a month. I wish you could come down more. I know it's hard on you. I feel like the phone and our visits are what is getting me through this. I saw him yesterday and it was the best visit yet! Gosh, it was wonderful! The guards on this shift have really been good to us. I am thankful for that. We feel so much closer when we get such good visits. We seem to forget there is even anyone else around us when we are together. It's like its just us two in the world sitting there. He is touching my face almost the whole time. It just reminds me every time why I fell in love with him and married him. I held the tears back yesterday until I got my things back and made it out the front door and then I think I cried almost all the way home on the hour drive. It breaks my heart to leave him.

Being so far away makes it a little harder and thongs had been so tense between us I just needed time to get my thoughts and feelings together. Seeing him after all that time apart felt really good, and the hardest thing to do was walk away and leave without him. I didn't cry, but I hated to leave him.

I am very lucky I live so close to the prison. I know it's hard for you to walk away. I feel like I am abandoning my husband every time I leave him. It hurts so much to walk through that door while he's watching me. I usually cry every time I leave until I am way down the road. I hate looking back at that place and knowing that is where my husband lives for now when I can go home and do all the things I normally do, but he can't enjoy any of it with me, even the little things such as driving to the store or just looking at the trees go by on the road, etc. Maybe you two can get things together now after this time and maybe something can work out?

I don't know, being so far from him makes it harder to work on and fix and that isn't anything I feel we can do or should be done in this situation, but I do still love him, so time will tell....
