i have to say that what you wrote is SOOO true. i've been to visit 1 time and will be going again in a couple of weeks, but the turn around and leaving is OMG the worst. i knew from the begining that once the visit was over i would have to turn around and walk out leaving him standing there. i knew the emotions would be sky high !!! i don't think i can prepare myself for anything different. i try to be tough but haha doesn't work. the 6 hour drive home is looong
