Had my first visit in 5 long months with Dave on Valentines Day. It was a great Valentines gift. He didn't know I was coming so it was a big surprise for him. I was able to kiss, hug, touch and hold hands with him for the first time in 8 months. God how I have missed that. I was very shocked to see how much his appearance has changed. He has lost about 60 pounds which makes him look very unhealthy. I am very worried and concerned about that. It was a 3 hour drive down, and got lost along the way but was well worth it to get 2 hours of heaven with him. The 3 hours back home was hard. I hated having to leave him there. I was happy to see that the prison is clean and all of the people there, guards included, were extremely nice. As far as prisons go I think he is at a very good one. We were allowed contact the whole time and I never took my hands off of him only to go get him food then he had a hard time eating because I wouldn't stop holding on to him LOL Next visit I will take his son to see him but not sure how that will go because it will be a no contact visit and it will be very hard on them both to be able to see each other but not even be able to hug. I can't wait to see him again, wish it wasn't so far away.

It's wonderful that you had such a special Valentine Day! You sound on top of the world. My son is the one in prison but I remember how great it was to hug him, hold his hand, the first time I saw him there. So happy for you! Time does pass - just take good care of yourself and your kids!
Love, Pam

I'm so HAPPY for you. I too went and seen my sweetie for Valentines Day. I can't take my hands off him either. We do have to keep them above the table, which is hard. I always rested my hand on his leg. Can't do no more. I really understand the drive. It's 3 hrs for me down and 2 wonderful hrs of love, then 3 hrs of heartbreak driving back home. I find it to be the hardest thing ever to walk away and leave him there. I hope you can go see him often. I go and see my sweetie every month. Take care, and he will gain some weight back. He has been through hell, and when he settles in to what his life is now, he will put some weight back on. ((HUGS)) Cherri
