It is always easy for someone to say that they wouldn't spend their money on the phone calls, the gas to drive the distance to the prison but until they ever walk in these shoes they can't say can't. 

My fiancé is in prison and he is worth every bit and then some. He is the most kind and loving person I have ever known. I met him through a friend and it started out only friends for 6 mos. and then I met him and started visiting every wk/end eventually we admitted our feelings to one another and a love relationship began. 

I see a lot of couples who take each other for granted and I see they are missing out. Time is valuable and should never be taken advantage of. The simple things is what you miss the most. 

I know that God allowed our paths to cross for a reason and he knows what is ahead.
