Thanks for all your letters recently! It's great to see the progress you're making! Sorry I'm so busy, but I did type up a letter to you and will send it 2nd day mail or something tomorrow. Hopefully you'll get it soon and it'll be well-received! (Did I have to reply? Charlie Charlie)...good times, Maximillian! We have a lot of movies to watch.
When these blogs get posted on the betweenthebars.org website, there's an option for volunteers to transcribe the letters into text. I assume this is largely for individuals with less-than-stellar handwriting, though yours is rather nice. Also, this might make the content of the messages searchable, which would be helpful for friends and relatives looking for particular messages. Just a theory.

This one he wrote for his daughter on 2/25/07 Tiny and Precious A child is swallowed by a sick and darkened world, abuse and pain leaving him torn inside, searching for a God that might rescue him from the crushing confusion and pain. Hopes and dreams fading fast, no miracles, shattered faith - can't escape the horrible shame, nor pain inside. Along comes a lady; caring and compassionate, an understanding friend, trying to rescue him from the clutches of an evil world, with an abundance of love he'd never known; from friends to lovers, to husband and wife. Hopes and dreams fading fast; a miracle a lifetime too late - love, alcohol nor drugs; couldn't eliminate the shame nor pain inside. A child is born; tiny and precious, a miracle of life right before me; Hope revived within a lost and tortured soul - looking up at me, with big beautiful blue eyes; A baby girl smiles. Hopes and dreams come alive right before my eyes as I held this little angel, easing both the shame and pain inside. How quickly my little angel has grown, from infant to mother; so precious and dear. My fate was forged, who knows? Maybe, long before I was born, many times I've wanted to escape this clay tomb - yet this little girl has kept me alive inside. Hopes and dreams quickly fading, a life destined to fail beneath all the crushing pain and shame inside. A baby girls unconditional love has given me reason and inspiration to seek and look within for that perennial knowledge that leads us to self-realization, which itself leads to the enlightenment of the Supreme Creator. Hopes and dreams die so quick when one is cast into a cold and heartless prison-cold stone walls have no love; draining all life within. Yet here I sit, alive and well behind these cold stone walls, all because of that beautiful baby girl - that precious miracle of life, G-d's gift in which my faith was renewed. Karmic debts I know must be paid, a balance must be found, I've accepted my destiny and position in life's long winding roads; For this baby girl has given me the desire and courage to see this journey through.
JUST BEAUTIFUL DAVID. I LOVE THE WAY YOU CONVEY YOUR FEELINGS THROUGH YOUR WORDS. YOU ARE AMAZING. Lauren, aka: Zahra
This was written by David on Oct. 26, 2006 Beautiful... You are, the compassion harbored by your heart, the kindness you practice which breaks through the barriers of a dreadful, calloused life. Beautiful... You are, the unconditional love that you give. A deep love which radiates an embracing warmth, so caring, so special from you to me. Beautiful... You are in every possible way to me, so much joy and hope you've brought into my life. A new lease on life you've given me - one that includes you by my side eternally.
That was written by you for your Zahra. She loves you too. Always and forever yours, she is. I love your writings. I have just come across a whole lot of them. Your drawings and writings are as magnificent as you are. David, you are an amazing man and I feel thankful that you are part of my life. Lauren (aka:Zahra)! :-)

A child is swallowed by a sick and darkened world,
abuse and pain leaving him torn inside, searching for a God that might rescue him from the crushing confusion and pain.
Hopes and dreams fading fast, no miracles,
shattered faith - can't escape the horrible shame, nor pain inside.
