Yesterday I went to the Post Office and there was a package waiting for me, Charles had sent, well not him actually-He had a visit and his friend got it out of property to send to me. When I opened it up there was his thermal shirt that he must of worn to death :) It had a wonderful smell and tears welled up in my eyes, because its a smell I would want to smell for the rest of my life if it was possible. It brought such happiness and tears at the same time.
Because maybe I will never get a chance to be close to him and this is the closest I am ever going to come.
It was to much reality so i stuck it back in the plastic bag to preserve the smell (haha) But I had to take it out to sleep with it. I am so blessed to have him in my life.
Sometimes things are hard, things dont go right, you get sidetracked and the one thing in my life that has stood still was Charles love for me. I can honestly say i never had a man care for me the way Charles does. People have come and went but he has stayed. I just hope someday I will be able to repay him all the love he has given me.
People dont understand why i could love a Death Row inmate, it happened, it sure didnt happen over night, but I wouldnt trade it for anything, especially not him. I just wanted to share that with you guys.
I am so blessed to have in my life

I just hope someday I will be able to repay him all the love he has given me.

Dana you do everyday, with the love you give him back. :)
Thats unreal you recieved that. I can just imagine how you feel. I know, on down days, when I recieve mail, I sit there, and think he touched this (smell his mail), etc. I think its hard, because its all non contact. Its the little things they do for us that mean the biggest things. You are both incredibly lucky you touched each others lives ((((hugs))))

awww girlie that brought tears to my eyes you are 1 strong woman I swear keep your head up I know he is proud of ya :)

Im with Johnsbabygirl on this one...*tears* I dont know what its like to love a death row inmate, but i do know what its like to love someone with everything you have...All you can do is continue to love him unconditionally, and thats all it takes

Dana, believe me - you already give this man a lot of love (because you write that you just hope to be able to repay all the love back to him).
It's really so nice that he has sent it to you! You both can be happy having each other in your lifes.
Enjoy it and sleep well with it! *smile*
