met in prison

[shelly66048]

I met my loved one while he was in prison, I actually found him on a website prison penpals. We started out writing letters 4 1/2 years ago and now we are planning on getting married this Sept. Alot of my friends and family actually think I am crazy but I truely believe that he is the man for me and we will spend the rest of our lives together. He still has 4 years to serve and thats ok I will be waiting.

sometimes our family and friends don't understand where we are coming from in moments like this, but as long as you are happy, and this is what you want, than I am sure they will support you. sometimes the paths we take are less traveled but,...........just stay strong, pray tons and do what you feel is best for you
congradulations on your enagagment, here is you need to talk and you will be in my prayers

I must say this has been an experience for me and my loved one. We were together before he was incarcerated...my prayer is that he be vindicated. He is a great man of God...screwed by the justice system and family...I love him ppl don't understand why but God...He's proposed I've accepted...believing God for a pardon so he can do what He's called to do...marry me He's started a church within his dorm...faith based initiative...he's really anointed and destined for greatness! He was a pastor before his incarceration...outcast by the very ones who are suppose to forgive, love, trust and restore. However, this didn't stop the call on life...to pastor, train, teach and make disciples for Christ. This is a hard road to travel but God has kept him and is keeping him...My eyes have truly been opened to another side of life. You never know how blind you are to the truth until God opens your eyes. Pray for Stanley...that God continues to use him and the church he's started prospers...those inmates really need what God has placed inside him.
Thanks! God Bless! If God said it that settles it! Trust God! I do!

well, my story sounds like so many others. i still work for the dept of corrections the man i fell in love with was at the prison where i work we met in may of 2008 he was transferred back in november 08 to a different prison he gets out in june of 2010. i am looking for a job right now but jobs are so hard to find. i can't stay with the dept and be with him too, as soon as they find out which they will i'll be escorted out anyway. so far we have been blessed and i have been able to continue to work.

I understand completely. I'm currently in love with an outstanding man in prison. Like you may family and friends thinks I've finally gone bonkers! But they don't understand. You see, I was incarcerated as well. My first bid. I never thought it could or would happen tome but it did. One of the ladies I befriended in county was writing to inmatesshe found on a website and offered to have her sister print out a few for me. Well, I chose 4. Of the four only 2 remained when I went to prison. It was hard -- in NY state prisons you can't communicated with other inmates if you are not related. I tried anyway and got in trouble for it. Nothing serious but a mark on my discplinary. Still I kept on trying. Now I'm home and we've resumed our writing. I found out that during my 1 year silence, he tried to contact me but his letters were denied and my letters were denied (sometimes). But the wonderful part of this is that he is the one man who truly understands me. I have a trust problem -- I don't trust anyone. Yet I trust him -- completely. He's asked me to marry him and I've accepted. The way I figure it, he found me when I was at my lowest and found something to love anyway. What else do I want!!!? So, love your man and love him completely! He's worth it and you're worth it!

we write to each other and talk everyday. our love grows stronger everyday. i can't wait until the day he gets out. we will touch and kiss each other for the first time, thats right we didn't cross the line not once while he was here. he has been locked up for 14 years but he had nothing but respect for me and my position. it amazes me that something so beautiful came out of an awful situation. we cherish what we have and will do everything we can to keep it. not even the dept of corrections can take it away.

I was in that same situation lol. I worked for the DOC but not as a CO and i met this wonderful guy the same week i started. Somehow they found out that we were writing each other and i was escorted out lol. But u know what i dnt feel bad about that cuz i wanted to get out of there. They transfered him to another prison and i feel better visiting him there than where i worked. I dont know what it is about him i love so much that i didnt care about that job haha. Love makes u do crazy things. Anyway good luck with a new job. It will work out someway somehow with the grace of God!

as i read all these messages it makes me think about how me and my man are i jus got off the phone with him a couple hours ago.. like so many others i meet him threw an old friend that is locked up with him. and like so many other women on here my family and friends dont think he is good for me. its so craazy the computability i have with him. for instance we answer and talk about each others questions before we get the letters. its jus such a big trip on how behind thos walls love always finds it way. even if this relationship dose not work out i will still be here for him as a friend because that is wat our relationship was based on. i was shocked to read the words i love you and also understand what he means when he does say he loves me.. ive never meet him yet and plan too visit at least once before he gets out in aug 2010 ive never been in this situation before but its an experience i will never forget. he has a place in my heart that no walls can take away.
