YES , JIMMY FINALLY HAD HIS FIRST FURLOUGH HOME YESTERDAY...HE ARRIVED HOME AT 5 PM, WEDNESDAY, AND LEFT AT AROUND 7 AM ON THURSDAY...IT TOOK HIM OVER 5 HOURS TO GET HOME, AND I BELIEVE 5 OR 7 HOURS TO GO BACK TO KINTOCK TODAY...
AS JIMMY'S TAXI PULLED UP TO THE FRONT DOOR YESTERDAY, I RAN OUTSIDE TO GREET HIM...WE HUGGED AND KISSED...ALL LIKE A DREAM....AND WALKED INSIDE HOLDING EACH OTHER....MY HUSBAND LOOKED SO GOOD...MORE HANDSOME THAN EVER...THINNER, MORE MUSCULAR...HIS FACE HAPPY AND GLOWING....PRINCE, OUR DOG WENT WILD WHEN HE SAW JIMMY....HE REMEMBERED HIS PAPPA RIGHT AWAY...MISTY AND JIMBO, THE CATS WERE ALL AROUND HIM...MISTY SLEPT ON DADDY'S TUMMY LAST NITE....PRINCE WAS RUNNING AND PRANCING AROUND THE HOUSE ALL NITE....PLAYING WITH JIMMY, AND AS HAPPY AS CAN BE..
JIMMY AND I HAD A LOT TO CATCH UP ON, AS YOU CAN WELL IMAGINE....AND I DON'T MEAN TALKING...SINCE WE TALK EVERYDAY, ANYHOW.....WHEN JIMMY WALKED INTO THE HOUSE, IT WAS AS IF AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT RAN THROUGH THE HOUSE...SUDDENLY THE HOUSE LIT UP. AND ALL WAS AGLOW AND HUMMING!....IT WAS AS IF ZORRO RODE IN, ON HIS HORSE.....IN A FLASH, THE HOUSEHOLD LIT UP...DADDY WAS HOME, ONCE AGAIN!...
JIMMY PUT ON EVERY LIGHT IN THE HOUSE....THE TV...OPENED THE WINDOWS...LOOKED AT EVERYTHING....I HAD COOKED LOTS OF FOOD...SO WE ATE, AND MADE LOVE...AND ATE AND MADE LOVE....AND DID THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN ALL NITE.....HE IS EVEN MORE WONDERFUL THAN THE DAY I MARRIED HIM.....JIMMY AND I ARE WONDERFUL COMPANIONS TOGETHER, AND WE NEVER, EVER TIRE OF EACH OTHER....HE TOLD ME I WAS EVEN MORE INTERESTING THAN THE DAY HE MET ME.....WE STAYED AT EACH OTHERS SIDE EVERY MOMENT (WELL, I LET HIM GO TO THE BATHROOM ALONE)....JIMMY IS A VERY CONSTRUCTIVE MAN...HE QUICKLY TOOK INVENTORY OF THE HOUSEHOLD, AND SAW WHAT HAD TO BE DONE....HE FIXED THIS COMPUTER....ORGANIZED THE COMPUTER ROOM....PUT LIGHTBULBS ON THE CEILING LIGHTS...FIXED S FEW ELECTICAL OUTLETS.....WASHED HIS SNEAKERS.....FIXED THE DIGITAL CABLE TV..WENT OVER PAPERWORK WITH ME.....AND SHAMPOOED THE LIVING ROOM CARPET...YES, HE SURE DID....HE HAS A LIST OFTHINGS FOR HIS NEXT VISIT HOME, SO HE CAN HELP HIS POOR WIFE TO GET THIS HOUSE IN SHAPE...ACTUALLY JIMMY COMPLIMENTED ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN....HE TOLD ME I HAD DONE A FINE JOB FIXING UP THE HOUSEHOLD, AND KEEPING IT TIDY...HE SAID OUR HOME HAD A "HOMEY" FEELING TO IT , WITH A WOMANLY TOUCJ TO IT...HE TOLD ME, THAT WHEN HE LEFT ON MARCH 28, 2003, I WAS A VERY FRAIL WOMAN, AND NOW I HAVE BECOME AMAZINGLY STRONGER....HE SAID I HAVE IMMENSE ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS, THAT ACTUALLY COME NATURAL TO ME....I AM ALWAYS ORGANIZING THINGS, KEEPING LISTS, AND KEEPING THINGS IN ORDER.....AND SO, WHILE HE FIXED THINGS, I COOKED...SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS WHEN HE GOT HOME....STEAK AND PASTA LATER IN THE EVENING....ICED TEA, ICED COFFEE.....SALAD...JELLO AND WHIPPED CREAM.....IN THE MORNING BACON AND EGGS AND HOT COFFEE...........IT WAS ALL VERY QUICK...VERY FAST....MY HUSBAND IS A VERY QUICK MAN....(except when making love).....JIMMY SLEPT 3 HOURS...I HARDLY SLEPT.

Fran, I am so happy to hear that you finally got to spend some quality time with Jimmy. Hopefully, he will be home soon for good.

I am happy that things are going so much better for you know.
Your journal is so touching. I pray that you get all you want out of life very soon. You seem to be an awesome woman and I hope your husband gets to come home to stay sooner than you think. God Bless you two. Keep strong.
I haven't read all the entries but I was wondering what he had done to be in prison for so long, was it some mistake? The way you say how he's a clean person makes it almost sound like it would've been drug related. I don't know him or you so I wouldn't want to judge, but with the small amount of time you had together, he didn't need to be shampooing the carpets. He said himself that you do a great job around the house, there wouldn't have been any need for him to spend time doing that. And hopefully it wasn't all sex related, or just lust mistaken as love. It sounds like you didn't know eachother very long before you got married and he went to prison. I just hope you don't rely on him and all of his words to feel good about yourself, because assuming down the road when he gets out of prison that you are finally having a normal life, there will be arguments, there is no perfect man when you completely know them, and I just hope if he ever says anything mean that it doesn't break you. I hope everything turns out good, sounds like those pets are like children huh? Cute.
Just wanted to encourge you. I am so glad that you both got some time together, this happens for very few prison wives. Good luck on your journey together. It can be wonderful. I know i married my husband while he was leaving jail on work release. God bless.
