Hello mom's - I don't write much on here but want to share my story.
Today I was fortunate to go visit my son with my daughter. As we were waiting to go in for the visit a mother came out from visiting her son and she was very sad, you could see she was trying very hard to keep her composure but as she was waiting to speak to one of guards to get her money back from not being able to get her picture taken with her son she really started to fall apart. I sat there and waited for her to finish her business and then followed her to her locker as I didn't want to embarrass her in front of a bunch of people. So as she stood in front of her locker I said to her, no matter what we are good mothers and I think you need a hug from one mother to another. She turned around and completely broke down in my arms. Unfortunately her son is being moved due to some problems. Her visit with him was between glass, my heart went out to her. She was heart broken. Should couldn't understand why he did what he did and all I could think to say is we don't always understand why our children do what they do but they are still our children and will will continue to love them no matter what. She doesn't know when she will see him again as she drove from another state to visit. She thanked me for the hug and the listening ear. So maybe the point of the story is we are all in this together give those mothers a hug and listen to their story. As I am sure there are many of us that don't get that from others. I know I don't, when people find out about my son they act as if I have some kind of plague or something!
Oh yeah one more thing, I want to thank MOIS for listening to me and all of us as I truly think I would not have done what I did today without the help of all the stories on this site because we are all in that same boat. Our children may have different crimes but our broken hearts are all the same.
And I guess I should tell you I had a great visit with my son.
Feeling blessed.
