I'm really, truly sorry it's taken me so long to write, I did not mean to wait 6 months. With the move to the new prison, the appeal being denied, and the huge mountain of work that I can't seem to put a dent in, time has gotten away from me. Even though there's not a chance in hell that I'll ever get caught up, I'm spending the entire weekend attempting to do things that should have been done long ago.
I want to thank you, and let you know that your energy and money didn't just disappear into a black hole. Just your thoughts alone mean a tremendous amount. There have been quite a few times when the only thing that has kept me from losing all hope and crumbling beneath the weight of this nightmare is knowing that people out there in the 'real world' still remember, that I'm not forgotten. For that alone I can't thank you enough.
I also want to thank you for the books. I greatly appreciate it. Even though I've loved reading my entire life, it means more now than ever before. Now books are the glue that holds my sanity together. Books are my vacation, my refuge, and my sanctuary. I hide in them to go somewhere else and forget about this hell hole for a little while. That's a most valuable thing in here. Thank you very, very much.
In closing, I also want to thank you for being patient with me. I'm not the quickest writer in the world, but I didn't want you to think me ungrateful. I really, really appreciate all your help. Please take care of yourself, and I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.
Yours,
D
