I took my grandson to see his daddy David Saturday. We had an awesome visit. His son is also named David but goes Davey. He is 4 and half, my son had lost his visits over contraband cigs or whatever I dont really ask anymore. In the past the question of contact visits were an issue. The two guards in the visiting room were awesome. One of them did ask my son to talk to him but reassured him it was no big deal. Just reminded him that he couldnt physically pick him up or carry him. Which we worked around well. They have a play area with tons of legos and they played together for 3 hours . Building and laughing lots of snacks and oh boy chocolate candy!! It was really a great time got christmas pictures taken. I met a mother who was there for the first time to see her son and she hadnt hugged her son in a year. I usually cry afterwards when I get home alone. But this year seemed more emotional for me this is going to be his 4th xmas away. I miss more today than ever. I have cried all morning, took my grandson home yesterday. Trying to keep busy to not think about it and to remember to be grateful for an awesome visit. Praying for all you moms and dads and sons and daughters .

Praise the Lord for Davey and his dad got to spend time together and you got to see your son, David!! I am glad you guys got to take picture together. I'm praying for you and your family.
Reminding me of the MATCH (Mother’s And Their Children) program for incarcerated mothers I have volunteered when kids are visiting their mother
Even though circumstances are not the best it’s so wonderful Davey got to spend that time with his father! I cannot wait for the day I get to hug my son. It’s been 20 months. He’s in reception now so I cannot really talk to him. 23 year sentence. Hurts like hell. Prayers for you mom.
