I've tried to start this blog for about 2 months now. Something has stopped me each time. I guess it was either being too scared to share our story or I just didn't know what to say. I guess it was a little bit of both. But here I go starting the journey of telling our story through the eyes of this prisoner's wife.
I guess I could start by telling about myself and my husband. Mike and I met in November of 2009. The week before we met, I had tried to commit suicide after feeling I was alone and no one cared about me anymore. Two weeks before we met, he had been ripped away from his 2 teenage children after being arrested for a crime his ex-wife put him up to.
He spoke to me and I knew instantly that I wanted to get to know that man. We were inseparatable for the first 10 days we were together. We would even finish each other's sentences. It was like we had known each other for much longer than we had.
After not even a month, we started dating. Through 2 years we grew closer together and fell even more in love. It's not like we had a perfect relationship, but we both fought hard to stay together.
Mike asked me to marry him in May of 2011. We planned to have a wedding on October 29th. However, after getting so frustrated with planning the wedding, we decided to elope in August. We had a wonderful few weeks of being newlyweds, but before our 3 month anniversary, October 28th, he got his letter from the court saying he was due in for court a week later.
Our whole world stopped.
