MY HUSBAND IS FINALLY COMING HOME!!!!! I found out this morning! I still don't think it has sunk in yet, but I am totally ecstatic! We have been apart for 3 long years, and today my whole world changed. He was given an FI 1, which in Texas is the fastest release possible... basically he should be home in about a month. I am supposed to call in a couple weeks to see if they have the actual release date yet. I don't even know what to do with myself right now. I've cried, laughed, shaken uncontrollably, and felt like I was going to throw up.... lol. There are so many emotions going through my head right now... but the main one is completely blessed.
I am so blessed to have been able to receive all the support so many of you here have given me when the days seemed to hard to get through. I know lately I haven't been much help to anyone here, and I truly sorry for that. I will definitely stick around for years to come, and hopefully can give back some of what has been given to me here. I know how it is to read these when your loved one has just gone in, or doesn't have a close date yet, so to those of you in that situation, I am sorry. Stay strong though, and just know that your moment will come too. I love yall!!!!!

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I do believe the pressure of the economy may have something to do with it. There are many loved ones I know that are being released due to economic pressure. So they are letting the model prisoners go or the ones with little time left. Getting them out as there are so many more that are going in daily. This unfortunately is not happening in the Federal system only in the State system.
About time for another virtual party!
I hope many more come home out of this!
I am so happy for you ASH!
Be sure to let us know the date as soon as you know.
Happy happy happy dance!
Love Rhea
Waiting For Him----
I defintely had those feelings when I read other people post about their homecomings. It never over powered my happiness for that person, but it does hurt... and that's why I wanted to say I understand that, and I truly hope my post does not greatly upset anyone. I know we are all here to share the good and bad with each other, but I certainly do not want to stir up any sad feelings.... that is not my intention at all.
I will definitely be keeping yall posted on the date. I am really hoping it will be around Valentine's day!!!!
