So my BF got his release date it will be July 17, 2015. 13 Months to go we are down 3 months already. I'm happy because we were expecting it to be at least 18 months. He is still in reception so No calls or visits. I can tell he is getting frustrated with things I can feel it in his letters. I'm trying to be VERY positive and happy but I have my bad days too! He sometimes takes things I say and takes it in a way I didn't mean. I had asked him what he thought of our relationship if it was easier or harder being in there with me here then he thought. He got pretty mad and was asking me "why would I ask that" and if I was 100% in this with him? I didn't mean to put any doubt in his mind at all I was just trying to see how he felt! I won't be doing that again :) He told me he puts things out here in the back of his head, that is how he gets through each day! We still don't know when or where he will end up but I'm hoping we find out soon! Its taking almost 15 days for him to get my letters. I'm here for him 150% and I think he truly knows that. I will continue to support and Love him completely. I will hope this next 13 months strenghthens us. I love him will all my heart and I miss him So So much.
Thank you for sharing your determination and your hope. It helps me to read about other people trying hard to do their best. You and your boyfriend are in my thoughts.
Now, for the next 15 months, your job is to tell your guy that you love him without putting any pressure on him to reply. Send cards and letters, songs and poems, photos, drawings, pictures and articles from magazines. Imagine a perfect meal, either in a restaurant or on a picnic, find some recipes for that meal, and send them to him, asking if he'd like to share that meal with you. You could describe the decor of that restaurant or the perfect picnic spot. Use your imagination to find different ways to let him know how much you're thinking of him. Make it easy, and see what his response is. I wish you we'll!
