VISITORS GO TO BAYSIDE PRISON

I'M SO HAPPY, BECAUSE JIMMY HAD 2 VISITORS AT PRISON TODAY.  THE MANAGER OF THE FOOD STORE WHERE HE WAS, AND STILL IS EMPLOYED, ALONG WITH HIS WIFE WENT TO SEE HIM.  I KNEW THEY WERE GOING, AS I HAD TO GIVE THEM ALL THE INFO ABOUT THE PRISON...DIRECTIONS, VISITING HOURS, AND BASICALLY WHAT TO EXPECT....THEY HAD TOLD ME , BEFOREHAND, THAT THEY HAD NEVER BEEN IN A PRISON, AND IT WAS A LITTLE SCARY.  I ASSURED THEM, THAT I HAD GONE THERE, BEFORE, ALONE, AND IF I COULD DO IT , THEY COULD, TOO...AS I MYSELF HAD NEVER GONE TO VISIT A PRISON, EITHER, BEFORE THIS ALL STARTED IN MY LIFE....

AND SO, THAY SPENT AROUND 6 HOURS WITH JIMMY, SITTING FACE TO FACE, ON CHAIRS........THEY SPENT 1 1/2 HOURS IN LINE FOR REGISTRATION, BEFOREHAND....THEY MUST HAVE LEFT THEIR HOUSE AT 5 AM , OR SO, TO GET THERE FOR 7AM REGISTRATION.

OF COURSE THEY TOLD ME ALL ABOUT JIMMY!........ACTUALLY I KNEW IT BEFORE THEY EVEN TOLD ME........JIMMY LOOKED HAPPY, BUBBLY ,AND BRIGHT, AND CHEERFUL, AS USUAL!...HE WAS LAUGHING, JOKING, TALKING, AS USUAL.........THAT IS MY HUSBAND FOR YOU!....ALWAYS CHEERFUL, NEVER DEPRESSED...ALWAYS LOOKING ON THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THINGS.....JIMMY IS HAPPY NO MATTER WHERE HE IS!

THEY CALLED ME FROM  THEIR CELL PHONE, AS THEY WERE DRIVING HOME, AND I SPOKE WITH THE WIFE FOR 20 MINUTES....EVERYONE SOUNDED HAPPY, AND IN UPBEAT SPIRITS!

WELL, THAT WAS SATURDAY, TODAY!  NOW IT'S ONLY 24 DAYS TILL PAROLE!

I MUST SAY ONE THING........MY HUSBAND HAS A VERY SPARKLING, ATTRACTIVE PERSONALITY.....PEOPLE ARE JUST ATTRACTED TO HIM.......SOME PEOPLE HAVE PERSONA'S LIKE THAT, IN WHICH THEY MAGNETICALLY ATTRACT OTHERS TO THEM....AND THAT IS JIMMY!

I JUST HAVE TO SAY, THAT RIGHT NOW, I AM VERY, VERY HAPPY IN LIFE.  EVERYTHING , IN ACTUALITY, IS GOING VERY WELL.....EXCEPT OF COURSE, THAT I MISS JIMMY SO MUCH.  BUT, YOU SEE, WE ARE SO CONNECTED, THAT HE IS ALWAYS WITH ME.  HE TOLD ME IN TODAY'S LETTER, THAT EVERY NIGHT HE SENDS HIS GUARDIAN ANGEL TO ME, TO PROTECT ME.....AND I FEEL IT EVERYNIGHT..........JIMMY SAID, AROUND 2 AM, LAST NIGHT, "I FELT YOU ALL AROUND ME."   AND WHEN I SPOKE TO ROBERT'S MOM, THE INMATE WHOSE MOTHER CALLS ME , WITH A 2 PHONE CALL......I ASKED HER TO PLEASE TELL JIMMY THOSE EXACT WORDS....SHE LAUGHED.  I SAID, "PLEASE, SAY THOSE EXACT WORDS TO JIMMY....'I FELT YOU ALL AROUND ME LAST NIGHT, JIMMY.".............AND SHE SAID THOSE WORDS....THEN , TODAY, I GET THE LETTER FROM JIMMY WITH THE SAME WORDS, WRITTEN AT THE SAME TIME I FELT HIM WITH ME................INCREDIBLE.

AND SO, TRUTHFULLY, I SPEND A VERY GOOD LIFE.........QUIET, PEACEFUL....REALLY NO STRESS.  YES, AFTER 3 YEARS, I HAVE BEGUN TO ACTUALLY EXPECT STRESS FROM THE PRISON SYSTEM.  AND NOW, I AM EQUIPPED WITH SOMETHING EVEN STRONGER THAN THE PRISON SYSTEM....AND THAT IS GOD........JESUS.

SO WHEN ALL THAT "PRISON STUFF" GETS TO BE TOO MUCH, I JUST HAND IT OVER TO JESUS, AND LET HIM DEAL WITH IT ALL..........

IN THAT WAY, I LEAD A VERY GOOD LIFE, IN EVERY WHICH WAY........I HAVE A STRONG MARRIAGE, A VERY LOVING AND DEDICATED MAN........I AM FINANCIALLY SET, FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, AND DON'T HAVE TO WORK, EVER AGAIN, EXCEPT IN DOING THINGS THAT I ENJOY, LIKE WRITING.  I PHYSICALLY FEEL BETTER THAN EVER..........I AM VERY CALM ALL THE TIME, AND LEAD A PEACEFUL LIFE, DOING THE NORMAL DAILY THINGS AT HOME, THAT MOST WOMEN DO.  WE HAVE A LOVING FAMILY OF 2 CATS AND 1 DOG........AND YES, WE DO PLAN TO START A FAMILY......YES START ONE, WHEN JIMMY IS OUT, AND THINGS ARE MORE SETTLED........YES!  YOU HEARD IT HERE, FOR THE FIRST TIME!........YES, WE WILL START A FAMILY, AND WE ARE BOTH IN OUR 50'S..........AND BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING NEGATIVE, JIMMY AND I HAVE MORE NOW, THAN EVER BEFORE, TO OFFER A CHILD.......OR CHILDREN.  WE HAVE THE TIME, PATIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, AND LOVE TO GIVE A CHILD..........I NEVER REALLY DID BELIEVE IN HAVING A CHILD AT A YOUNG AGE........NOT ENOUGH OF LIFE EXPERIENCE........AND TIME, AND PATIENCE..........

GOOD NIGHT, FOR NOW.............FRAN

so glad Jimmy had company at prison and that they got to see how it is like for him to be there and what you and other prisoners' families go through to visit their loved ones. I bet it was an eye opener for them.

You and Jimmy will be great parents! The love you have for each other will shine through as you raise your child(ren).

betty

I am glad he had some visitors...that has to make life a little nicer for him even if it is just for a day.

how are you financially set for life huh fran........is it from the drugs your precious jimmy was running???????????
you said you turn to jesus for help when things are bad , i wonder how many of the children and families of the people addicted to drugs that people like your 'kind sweet loving husband' run ask jesus for help every hour of every day.
you will probably be outraged that i dared speak my mind here but i have been reading for a long time now and just cant let it lie anymore, the self pity and sanctimoniousness that you display, bleating on and on about how bad your jimmy and other inmates are treated makes me sick
THEY BROKE THE LAW therefore they need to be PUNISHED
punishment does not entail being locked up in a luxurious cell with tv and room to do a work out, having access to telephones to call loved one is also not a god given right
you cannot expect to break the law and then have a nice time....the law is there to protect people for a reason, he HAS served time before you have admitted that and i am not saying you are deluded or anything but he sounds far from sweet and loving to me
how can you afford a $1000 dollar a month phone bill huh fran.....jimmy is obviously not working and you cannot  so where does that money come from huh fellow readers ever wondered???  now the parole thing.seems a pretty tough line they are taking with your jimmy there huh....is it that given the SERIOUSNESS of the nature of his crime they have to be extra stringent with him and give him some hardcore supervision to reintegrate into society, sounds like it to me.
You see dear freaders i know fran personally and it is not the pretty picture she has painted far from it...i will let you ponder on that
you will probably never see a comment from me again as she will most likely block me but then she never did like the truth

Glad to see that you are having better days than not so long ago when I read in your journal that you was pretty shock up with what was happening all around you. Glad to hear that some people got to go and visit....I am sure that made a better day for your husband. When adopting a child the rules and regulation are very hard to get through. I know there is private adoption but even they have age limits and back ground checks and medical checks, so I was wondering how you might go about it. Huggs Robin
