Christopher,

First and foremost, I want to Thank you. It might sound strange to see these words from a stranger, but if you read ahead you will understand. I have used your two episodes as a realistic exampleto my kids of what a wrong turn can lead you. I realize not all people are bad, and I dont think you are either. Sometimes situations can turn on us and sweep us in a direction that is unexpected. Not to justify why you are in there, but again, I do understand. My son was stunned with your statement about drinking ice water. Then you said simple things. You may not have anticipated the reaction from the viewers on TV, but in a way you have helped me put a realistic situation in front of my kids for hem to see. Your interview was very human if you know what I mean. I cannot imagine being in isolation so long, and more power to you for being strong willed/minded to maintain. For this reason I will say this.. You are a topic of conversation in our home, and you are not forgotten. I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that. If this note takes your mind off of where you are for at least 2 minutes, it was worth writing. ~ Carlos H.
