My man is 11+ hrs away; I would love it if he was 3 or 4 hrs away. I've taken road trips when our daughter was an infant & she always did well! Hopefully u can take the trip up to see ur husband

My guy is 15 minutes away but I can't see him until after sentencing (and then who knows if he will be transferred out of state). Anyway, I was talking to his lawyer the other day and I told him I would travel to the other side of the country even just to see him for a few minutes at this point. And I was totally serious. I would take a behind the glass or video visit too. It's been 3-1/2 months which I know isn't long, but I used to see him 10-18 hours every day since the day we met! Argh!
