Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.

You seem like a fun and outgoing person! I absolutely LOVE Abba! I'm glad you have a slightly better living situation now. If you write anything else (letters, poems, blogs) I would love to read it, you have a great writer's voice. Stay strong, breathe, and remember to take it one day at a time.

All my love,

Alexis

Writing out how you feel can be such a useful and calming tool. I know it must have been hard to discuss the loss of your brother. I have had several family members go to rehab so I somewhat understand the grief from seeing a family member suffering.

I'm so sorry about your brother. Thank you so much for writing this. I have always been a firm supporter of rehabilitation over punishment, and it was very enlightening to read about the idea from someone with more personal experience.

To the love of my life...........
Troy Hendrix

These past few months have been wonderful & the more we get to know each other the closer we get. Every time we was able to be in each other’s presence the more addictive our love got. Not one day or minute goes by that we both don’t think about each other & at times we both can feel each other presences. We are connected in so many ways that our love & bond cannot be denied. We are truly meant to be together because we complete each other. From the first conversation that we had a beautiful friendship was created & following that our love grew more & more everyday. You are a wonderful man & one day the world will see you for who you really are!! Despite everything that you have been thru & still going thru the one thing that your current situation never took from you was your mind, body & soul. They may have taken away your freedom for now but they could break your spirits & that’s something one of the beautiful things that I love about you. So continue being the strong man that I know you are because soon it will be your time to shine bright. They could never keep a good man down for too long. Soon you will have what you been fighting for all these years your freedom & that will be one of the happiest moments in our lives, so until then I will continue to be by your side & take this journey with you every step of the way!!!!!
Love you Troy so don’t ever forget that your PuertoRicangoddess

Our justice system is hideously flawed. I understand wanting to hold those who break the law accountable, but this needs to be in a proportional manner and this is where the breakdown happens. The prison system has become a revolving door for inmates because we as a society have made it almost impossible for ex-prisoners to rejoin the community in a normal way and with dignity.

The fact that there is a chance that one of those 5,400 people could be innocent should alter the trajectory and no one should be sentenced to death.

Thank you for giving this issue a voice and keep your head up. I know it's a lot easier for me to say that as I'm not in your situation, but I really hope you can. Humans are capable of growth, change, love, and forgiveness...and this human is rooting for you.

Stay as safe as you can as well during this pandemic.
