It is so hard not being able to give my son a hug and kiss everyday. Since August 2013 he has not been with me and everyday it just seems to get harder. He was recently transferred from the city jail to prison. I use to could see him every weekend but since he is further away its been hard. I finally got to see him last weekend and got to give him hug and kiss for the first time in over a year. He may be an adult but to me he is still my baby boy.

I totally understand. They will always be our baby boys. My son will be 34 next Friday (7th) and my heart aches that I can't be with him or even talk to him on his birthday. (He is in Va, I am in Nv.) I can't send gifts, so I shower him with cards and pictures! I try to reminisce with him in letters and notes about birthday's past, I even sent him some pictures of birthday cakes from past birthdays, and then I wonder, is that good for him? Does it make him smile, or make his heart ache? I just don't know.
I only get to visit him every couple months. I will see him at the end of November, but I won't be able to hug or kiss him. He is in a regional jail with no contact and only 45 minute visits. (They do give me some additional time because I'm from out of state, which I bless them for.) I know if he's transferred to DOC he will have contact visits, but right now he is in a cell by himself and I think God for that!
So all you Moms out there who can hug and kiss your sons, give him an extra one for the mother's who can't.
Shannon, I will keep you and your son in my prayers.
Yes, no matter what age, they are still our babies.
I hate to admit it but I'm jealous .. my daughter is still in County - 7 months now... our visits are through glass and now they're even taking those away and replacing with video visits ... the only good thing about that is more people will be able to visit with her including her father 3000 miles away...
I'm looking forward to the day I can kiss her face, hug her so hard and hold her hand for 4 hours...
