How do you mend a broke heart????
It feels like my heart is literally breaking in two:( I miss my husband so much...but was tolerating our seperation well due to our hour long daily phone calls and regular once a month visits. And actually I got to see hime three times in January and that is a RECORD. But last week Monday I did NOT get a call from him and I PANICKED. I rushed over to our sweet neighbors and asked Bro. Johanson for a blessing. I felt such a strong peace and comfort and knew everything would be okay. I got a call from Lee the next day telling me that he was okay but had gotten into an argument with a medical staff regarding his medication and got thrown in "the hole". Luckily our dear friend works in "the hole" and let Lee call and tell me that from his office phone. But being in the "the hole" means NO PHONES CALLS, VISITS OR LETTERS. He said he would be in there for 5 days. So Friday came and went and STILL NO PHONE CALL. I made a few calls and found out that he woudl be transferred to general population but that he would not go back to his previous housing unit (the one that let him call as much as he wanted to) but go to a module (where he can only call me every other day for 10 minutes). Well Saturday came and went with NO VISITS and NO CALLS...Sunday the same...Monday I started panicking again. But I prayed about it and felt peaceful. I made SOME MORE phone calls and found out that he was transferred to the mental health unit in the prison...which is what I told him to do if they didn't let him go back to Makai (where he was living) because general population is NOT A NICE PLACE TO BE. So I felt slightly relieved and thought SURELY I'd get a call Monday night...no call and now it is Tuesday night and STILL NO CALL. You have no idea what kind of will power I am exercising to keep myself from driving down ther and BREAKING IN!!!!!! Alii (my best friend) and I have a joke when they cancel a lot of visits...that you would see me on the 5 o'clock news "local woman was arrested tonight for driving her large nissan truck through the wired fence of the prison. Rumor has it that she was trying ot see her husband...she didn't go down easy". VERY FUNNY...but you have no idea how close I am coming to making that joke a REALITY. The only thing keeping me from doing so is THE TEMPLE. The one ray of sunshine in all of this drearyness is that in my searching for information on my husbands whereabouts, I got the Bishop FINALLY approved to go in and see LEE!!!!!!!! They have scheduled him for Friday at 11am. Now the prison system is not known for their reliability so I am going to make a few phone calls Thrusday to make sure that all the proper paper work is filled out and that the visit does in fact happen. And that is the only thing holding me together...knowing that if I don't get a phone call by then, that the Bishop will be able to see him and find out what the HECK is going on. On a side note, other things occuring in this past week were 1. Savannah and family found a place to live and moved out (which is a good thing but not such a good thing at the same time) and 2. In the process of moving out Savannah's mother dropped a huge pice of mirrored glass on her foot and broke three toes and can't walk or work for the next 4-6 weeks! Kind of stressful...So back to my original question...HOW DO YOU MEND A BROKEN HEART? Well I have tried emotional eating (that ended badly), crying, throwing a tantrum, shopping and keeping insansely busy BUT the only thing that has worked has been relying on the SPIRIT. Reading my scriptures, praying and attendindg the temple are the only times I truly feel at PEACE. Now I can't spend every waking moment in the Temple, although if that were an option I'd grab my pillow, blanket and toothbrush and find myself a comfy corner somewhere to set up camp. But I am learning a lot about relying on the Lord and letting HIM TAKE MY BURDENS. I guess this is a trial we need to go through and I know that it is in HIS HANDS and that my Honey is being supported and comforted in this time as well. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take a minute and say a prayer for us BOTH and I will keep you all posted.

Service to others always helps me realize that my tiny problems are nothing compared to what others are going through! Keep your chin up and a smile on your face! It's not the same face without one! :-D Love you!
Mibi....wow, you have both been through so much. We are praying for both of you. I don't know Maren, but I have had the same experience, giving service helps bring peace.
Hang in there Mibi! You are in my prayers! Love you!
Hang in there Mibi! You are in my prayers! Love you!
Oh, sweet Mibi. I'm so sorry for all of this. Just keeping telling yourself this will all be over soon, because it will be. You are so strong and capable. I will say a prayer for you, several. Hang in there. It's going to be okay. It is.
