holly's story

This is his contribution to the Valentine's day contest in San Pedro. I hope and beg, let him win! it would mean so much to him to get this recognition while in jail.
he thinks of his wife a lot, he feels he let her down. He didn't. let me say it once clearly: what he did was for her, to provide her with a better life, to get her the things she wanted and needed, the air conditionning and the fancy bathroom like the one she used to have in New York.
we are still phoning a few times a week, he tells me all the news. Many prisoners are brought back by their family once released, hard to believe but true, the families don't want them and drop them at the door of the prison.
at this moment there is a transexual lady in jail, fascinating.
Brad found a cat! a little lost thing that wandered in and sleeps with him. i am so happy, he needs something to love.
he is writing about the popes again, will write a sample this evening.
greetings from Utrecht and from Costa Rica.
love to all
