Since the day my best friend Corey was incarcerated, I basically have had a hard time trying to cope with it.  I've done so many things this past year to try and keep my mind off the whole situation.  I've done everything except go and visit him.  So today I decided that it would be the perfect time for both him and myself, to visit him.  I went to the Saginaw Correctional Facility and became instantly intimidated by the feeling I recieved from this prison.  I walked into the building and I realized that there was nothing to be afraid of.  When I saw Corey, I was so overjoyed that I got really emotional.  We sat in the cafeteria and ate and talked for about 2 hours.  We took pictures, and I felt like my best friend is still my best friend.  I will definitely be going back to see him really soon.  This visit has brought closure to a lot of bad feelings that I have had towards certain people.  The way he seemed to be care free in prison, and he still seemed to live life without worries, has encouraged me.  I now feel like I can now really live my life to the fullest and do whatever the hell I want!  This has really been the best Christmas I have had in a very long time.
