Man, just hang in there. Write letters as often as you can. Visit when it's possible. The phone calls can be expensive but do those if you are able. Keep coming back for support. 6 months is a long time and at the same time it could be much worse (I know you've seen the stories.) Keep on truckin' and that time is going to pass before you know it.

Welcome.

I hope time passes fast for you. Before you know it, she will be home! The kids will keep you busy and that is a great thing. Write her letters, emails, calll her and send cards. That's what most of us do! Just show your support for her. God Bless!

Thank for the encouraging words. It is day 3 and my nerves fill like they are settling down I am just trying my hardest to stay strong for my kids. I finally received a call from her yesterday that made me fill a lot better. I just told her I love her so much words can't explain. This is an experience I wouldn't wish upon no one. But it is what it is and as they saying goes "What Doesn't kill you can only make u stronger".

36 weeks...ya'll can do it! Look at some of the counters we have at the bottom of our posts, I have over 1500 days to check off... I have noooo worries that this will probably bring you closer together. Have a special night where everyone draws for mom, another night where everyone writes her a short story.. daddy's can be dirty and romantic..lol once a week, you all eat mom's favorite meal... It will go by faster than you know it. Just hang in there---

Thanks Ruthiebee I understand that it's not long and I am cool with that I was so glad today when I looked her name up to see she actually gets released a couple days earlier than I thought. But Alderson is 4 hours away so with every 2 weeks visits things should be ok.

My daughter has been at Alderson for almost 6 months. Sometime it feels long and sometime it feels short. But it has gotten easier. I see her every 2 weeks. It is almost 4 hours away. God will get us all through this.
