Hi everyone!
This is a brand new thread for Sean's friends and loved ones.

I'll start off by saying that Sean (O.B.) is one of the nicest men that I have ever met. He is also a great example of how an individual can grow spiritually under difficult circumstances.

Let's keep our hopes high that there will be some good news in the near future.

Hello again and thank you about every word from the previous posts too (execution watch thread)

I appreciate each second you’ve taken your time to sit and think this. It really warms my heart to see your posts. Support from my WONDERFUL friends and truly caring people from PTO have given me lots of more strength to believe and fight together with the man I love.

I have let him know that he is also cared by many, who does not even know us, and sent him prints and posts, copies of emails etc. And if anyone wants to write him words of encouragement, just PM me your words and I will be happy to send some more mail to him. Thank you.

As his wife (hehe, as soon as we've got paper works done) and co-author of his book... I have a permission to share something from the last letter.

“I am hated man in Texas. It amazed me how many people really want me dead. Well it shouldn’t amaze me at all, but still it is really sad how many people are out foaming at the mouth and screaming about how I should die, calling me a monster without even knowing me. So many people want me dead. I am not a person they portray me, I never was, but how can I even defend myself. Noora, you have chosen a big challenge by loving me. People despise me. I know it, and I understand it, but no one has ever tried to learn who I really am, how I lived or anything else... .... .... ...”

It broke my heart to read those words and know that it is absolutely true.

The Sean: I know, and his dear friends know: is such a pure, wise, caring and loving soul. I could stay in closet and not let anyone to know what I think or feel, but I will proudly stand by that wonderful man.

I don’t care about “hate mails” or other stuff. (Just received second one this morning) If someone ever wants to talk about their point of view: I am more than willing to see their side pf the story, but I definitely ignore people who don’t have wits for anything else than just blow up childish words: I’ll keep my pride, but I am always more than willing to conversations. I just hope that people wouldn’t be so black and white.

People who are pro-deathpenalty are saying that they are against violence or killing, but somehow it seems that they are very blood thirsty to see inmates executed: killed! They just defend themselves saying that is justice: what justice is that? How many more victims it brings :( I just cant get it, and oh yes, I have been thinking about it.

Yes, we are working on a book together with Sean.
I know that by myself I can’t ever abolish death penalty, but if I can have even one people to think; then I have succeed with him.
I am honored to be part of his project.

Through PTO I have had a chance to meet new people who are also friend of Sean's and I am so happy to notice how many caring people he has in his life. Thank you!!!!

I think I need to end my chattering ;-)
All the best and keep the hope up!
Follow your dreams!

Proud to be Mrs O’B ;-)

Well said Noora

Thinking of you both

Lots of love

i will keep derek in my prayers....and let him know that prayers r answered......and god is not asleep!!!

thank you for sharing those words from his letter. As I said in a previous post which of us would want to be only the worst thing we have ever done? Inmates, especially those on dr are defined only by what they have done wrong. I think that it is a HUGE step if people can begin to see that they are simply human beings, like everyone else who made mistakes, yes sometimes BIG mistakes with horrible consequences. But that does not mean and it does not erase the fact that they have also done good things as well. I wish you luck with his book.

Hi,

I've read alot about what happened 16 years ago and it truly did horrify me. But I've also read some of Seans writings on various websites and the above excerpt and he really does seem to be an emotionally mature and intelligent human.

It really shows two sides of the debate over the DP. It's all too easy to read about the crime in detail and say "kill him" and overlook the fact that all people can change.

I don't understand how someone can participate in crimes of this nature which is why myself and many others just think "animal" or "sub human". But it just isn't that simple, and looking deeper into things shows that.

I've come to know Sean through you Noora and he is a true example of change, spiritual growth, peace and wisdom. So many cannot look at what lead up to the crimes our loved ones committed; invariably there is pain and hurt and unhappiness. To continue to hate a person is surely ultimately more destructive, negative and painful than to be able to see that people can and do change; can and do learn from their past and genuinely demonstrate this in word and deed and in the person they become. My love, support and best wishes are with you and Sean and everyone involved.

Thank you about all beautiful words and encouragement as always.
I havent post for a while, because I have had so many things to plan, do, arrange, think..... It has been a complete emotional chaos. But I am touched about all the love and caring from PTO people. It means so much to Sean, his all dear friends and not least to me ;-) Keep the hope up :) I am here feeling much better! I just miss him so much :) Noora

Noora,

Thinking of you both. Please let Sean know that both of you are in my thoughts.

Love Ness

I've known Sean a little over a year now. I am so greatful for his friendship. He is a very intelligent and caring man. He should not be murdered.

My thoughts are with Noora and Sean.

I will continue to pray that there be mercy for Sean. I can't say I am a friend of Seans because I only know him through the posts that have been written about him. I do know Noora loves him as well as many other people,I feel I have become a friend in spirit and I will continue to pray that is life is spared.

Thank you about such beautiful words!

Today I mailed new private messages / posts to Sean. I am sure he appreciates each word, thought, and prayer as well.

Recently I have got lots of extra strength from somewhere, and I am holding up quite well and finally trying to enjoy again about this precious journey with Sean.

I don’t let the fear catch me anymore. Who knows what tomorrow brings, but at least I am so happy now - and so is he :) and I can’ wait to see him again and get paper work done for the marriage.

I am enjoying the fullest now, but I know there will be harder days, but I try to take it day-by-day.

Noora,

I just wanted to say that it is really good to hear that you are holding up quite well during this time. Also I hope this paper work for your marriage comes through as quickly as possible - Congratulations to both you and Sean! I will continue to keep both of you in my thoughts. I shall also continue to hope that the days to follow bring a change for Sean. Take care of yourself.

Sincerely,
Ben.

Noora:
You are simply an incredidablly strong woman, I know Sean is a very special man as well, but I hope he appreciates how wonderful and strong you are. I hope that the marriage "paperwork" and plans are coming along ok. I also continue to pray for both of you that Sean will be shown mercy. Please keep us updated. ((((HUGS for both of YOU)))))

Sue

Hello!

At first: Ben and Sue: Thanks again! I hope you are doing fine too. I really appreciate your thoughts and prayers!

Past months have been a huge challenge to me, but as I said I am trying to stay confident and most of all enjoy about time we share now!

I do believe that everything happens for a reason. My spiritual beliefs and wonderful support from my good friends has helped me a lot. I try to gain my strength even from the smallest things, but of course there are hard days, and I know there will be.
I try to stay positive, skip negativity and speculating about the future.

I was told that there are some things written about me on few pro DP discussion boards. Most of the posts are quite childish and inferior name-calling, and then someone wrote a poem called “Ode to Noora”. That person of course remained anonymous. What was his/her purpose?, I asked. Was it to make me feel hurt, humiliated, sad…?? Those were just words, and didn’t hurt me. Of course he/she said that I cannot be hurt, because I am empty inside, I have a personality disorder that cannot be cured, and I do not have any real emotions. Hmmm.. What a great judge of human nature.

Also one lady was thinking my purpose to marry Sean a month before his possible execution. She thought that I am doing it only to get sympathy after his execution.

I wonder what made them to fall in love with their partners or marry them?
Do they have to explain their love or desire to marry someone they love?

I have lots of questions too, but I am going to leave that subject.

They are all entitled to their opinions and I respect that.

Our views and life experiences, ways and thoughts are all different and we must each of us do and feel and act in ways that work for us.

Nobody knows what it is like to walk in another's shoes, so just as I probably can't understand their views or acts, nor would I ever expect them to understand mine.

Arguing over views helps nobody and I choose not to do so.

All my love to EVERYONE


*Noora*

I have known Sean for a few years and he is a good friend of mine. People change if they want to and Sean has...I'll leave it at that for now.

Noora, there is no need to justify yourself to anyone about your involvement with Sean. Remember the words of Martin Luther King, Jr.: "We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

"We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

That is beautiful. I think I may even add it to my siggy!!!! But I agree, Noora, ignore that stuff, the people who post it don't know you or Sean or anything else. Of course, I don't know either of you either, but I choose to believe in Sean's words and yours as well as those of his friends who post here.

Noora l do not know you or Sean but my prayers are going out for you

Sue: I appreciate your support, and kind words. Thank You.
... And oh yes very beautiful and wise words.

Sewergrrl has the way to find quotes and words for each situation. I adore her ;-) haha! :D

Thanks aussierebel - I really appreciate each thought and prayer. I havent seen you before, so welcome to PTO :-)


Then some happy news:

I BOOKED MY FLIGHTS!!!

:yay::dance: I couldn’t be happier. :yay::dance:

Then some happy news:

I BOOKED MY FLIGHTS!!!

does this mean the marriage is going through?!!!! Congratulations to both of you!

Fabulous news!

Noora, I am very pleased for you both;
Congratulations to both you and Sean!
This is really wonderful news!!

- Ben.

YAY Noora!!! I am so happy for you!!

Ness

Hey :)

I have booked my flights to see Sean and get married next month, but there's still paperwork to do, but I am just soooo happy :)
I am just sitting here with a "stupid" smile on my face... ;-) ha ha!

Lots of love,

*Noora*

OOH ooh I'm so excited for you both!!

Hi Noora,
these are really happy news.
Congratulations to the both of you!
When will you be in Texas?
Greetings,
Maria

Thanks Rach
I can't wait to see/get my wedding ring!
I have already my precious engagement ring; handmade of course ... awww...

Thanks Maria
I am going back to Texas in July.
I came back home 2 weeks ago and soon I am flying back...

This is all so crazy ;)

*Finn in love* :D

I can't wait to see/get my wedding ring!
I have already my precious engagement ring; handmade of course ... awww...
congratulations Noora and of course to Sean. That is so sweet! May God bless your marriage and give both of you happiness and peace.

I find it amusing that the haters generally lack the bravery to sign their names to their screeds, and that despite their utter conviction that they are right, they appear to feel no need to stick to facts. Like you, I wonder how many of them would have a firm answer as to how and why they fell for their current partner (if indeed such hateful people are able to maintain relationships--there has to be a reason why they have so much time to vomit all over the Internet).

So many of the pro-DP people sneer at people who find God in prison. They speak in the absence of personal experience of course. During my years of contacts with several Death Row inmates, I have seen my own spiritual beliefs grow along with theirs. We must remember that some must face great adversity before we find the courage to look outward for the elusive "higher power". Most of the world's great religious were born in deserts. And why not? Where else are people more likely to be tested beyond their limits and driven to seek a power greater than themselves, only to find that it was there all along?

I bid you peace, and wish only the best for both of you.

Sue & DaveMoff: thank you :)

I am counting the days, when I am back in town ;-) and finally getting married. We already have our commitment. Our souls have already chosen each other to this precious union, but of course I want to make it official too.

I love him, and I miss him so much. It is sometimes very frustrating to be here thousands of miles away from him and I feel like I do not belong here, but his love surrounds me all the time, and my heart is with him. Love is free, and no one cant take it away from us.

No matter where he is, or where I am; we are under the same sky, and it is all that matters.

*Noora*

You might find the lyrics of Janis Ian's song "You Don't Know My Heart" (available under "Lyrics" at janisian.com, I think and on her "Unreleased 2" album) of interest. It wouldn't make a bad wedding song in the right context, come to think of it.

"We can't hold hands
when it's sunlight in the park
We just hold hands after dark
And if people say we chose this way
to set ourselves apart
I say--you don't know my heart
You don't know my heart."

Noora l wish you and Sean a very happy and special day and my prayers

When is the wedding, has a date been set? Will be thinking of you both on your special day. Good Luck and I hope to see some photos soon. All the best

Davemoff:
Awww.. I think I would like that song. Unfortunately I couldn't find it from anywhere – any ideas how should I get it.

Aussierebel & Tonia: Thank you about prayers, thoughts and congratulations ;-)

We are not allowed to have an official ceremony, but I have few ideas… hmmm… I will share all, when it is THE TIME ;-)

...better go now and scribble my shout, as it is Shout out show day :-)

All the best and All my love

*Noora*

Sean asked me to post his letter for you.

I typed it really fast, and haha, and I hope that I haven't messed up with his text, because I do not have time to re-read this now, but anyway... here it is.


I am also thanking EVERYONE for the boundless support, love and caring!


All my love


*Noora*


"A letter of thanks"


June 6, 2006
Hello

I am writing this in order to express my sincere thanks for care, thoughts and well wishes that some of you have been sending to I and my wife Noora. It is really heartening to see that there are people out there who are not just concerned with my death, but who are willing to see an other side to things and know that there is more to any situation or circumstance than commonly reported.

Here in Texas, all I’ve seen is hate for me and I won’t lie, it is pretty daunting. Some here will claim that it doesn’t bother them, but it is really difficult not to feel a certain apprehension when people are saying that one should be tortured and killed. It has been hard to deal with, some will rejoice to read those words but it is true, the past few weeks have been very draining for me. But it is really not myself that I am writing this for so I wont go on and on about it.

My appreciation for all of you knows no bounds the words and sentiments that you have sent to my wife, the support you’ve expressed, has brought me untold relief. It has really bothered me that my loved ones are going through all this madness and that my means to comfort them are so limited. I know that they hurt, they send me love and encouragement all the time but I know that underneath it all they are hurting. What can I do?

I am hurting too, I try to be strong for them and myself and it has taken all my will just to keep on trying. It’s really hard not to feed on negative emotions like hate, because I hate how much pain is being fostered because of my situation here. People hate and despise me, but they hurt my loved ones too and it is very hard to deal with, I don’t know how I can personally lessen it.

When Noora sent me printouts of some of the messages that some of you have posted, I was truly amazed because I’m so used to being hated that I always assumed that no one cared at all. I read them and felt great relief. I know Noora has been going through a great deal because of my situation and has been targeted for ridicule by hate filled persons and it comforts me a bit to know there is a counterbalance to it all. I worry for her, I love her very much, and …

…I don’t know how to explain it but she’s who keeps me going, I just wouldn’t care if not for her. So you all have been very kind and I thank you so much for being humans and seeing something wrong with a state that poison people to death and individuals who eagerly advocate the practice. And it is wrong, to kill, for any reason, to forget how difficult it really is to create life and the full impact of the life being taken. It’s horrible thing. Hopefully we all shall remember that we are human someday, it’s really comforting to me that some of you haven’t forgotten and I thank you for sharing your humanity with I and my wife

With love,
Sean

Noora:

That is so wonderful. Thank you for sharing Sean's words with us and also please convey to him that he is not hated and that I, as well as others, have been inspired by his words to continue the fight against the dp. Please let him know that both of you remain in my prayers.

Sue

A lovely letter, it makes me pray for him and you all the harder. He is an example of the heart and depth that people on DR can have and hate should be the last word associated with them. Blessings to you both.

Thank you for nice and inspiring words. I will forward your words to Sean. I cannot describe how much this support means for us. Thank you for prayers and thoughts as well.

He is a very beautiful soul, and I am fortunate to walk this journey with him. This is a very challenging path, but I have my strong belief, that everything is possible, when you just believe. Of course there are some hard days, but together we can manage to get through everything.

I had the feeling last month, and it is even stronger now. I am trying to stay positive and focus all of my spirits to this positive believing, and I enjoy – I enjoy even more about this. His stay, even it was lifted, was a true blessing. He is still here sharing his wisdom with me and his wonderful friends.

I think that my spiritual beliefs have made me keep my sanity. I have grown/learn so much in past months, and even this is not always the most enjoyable way to learn, this has given me a lot.

Someday we all have to move on. Somewhere out there - new adventures are waiting... but for us, who have to continue here: it is always hard to give up.

For me, now, it would be more than hard, but I am not going to even think it now. The subject is not a taboo for me, but who knows what tomorrow brings, and that’s why I try to take it day-by-day, and enjoy what I have NOW, and not worry about what I could lose.

I also see this world and life itself with new eyes. I am not only madly in love, haha, but I have also started a new morning in my life. I am so stunned about these emotions and everything what surrounds me. I feel myself like a newborn soul. Everything is new and exciting and I cannot wait to see or experience something new.

It is a bit ironic, that I enjoy my life the fullest now, even future is un-certain. The love of my life has given an execution date. I could drown into deepest misery and feel sorry of myself and him, but what I could win with that, nothing – I would only lose everything I’ve ever seeked... even I havent been conscious about that search.

I found my soulmate and I am not going to let this moment pass away, because finally I feel myself so free.

All my love

*Noora*

I had hard time to avoid tears. Im thinking you Noora and Sean. Beautiful words and thanks for sharing. I have 2 friends in polunsky and i am afraid when they will get dates.

Noora, what you write has brought tears to my eyes, both you and Sean are so honest and strong, I am happy that you found each other and while I would say to him he is fortunate to have found you, I think that it goes both ways, difficult as it is for you.

Noora,

Those words are really beautiful. It is really heartfelt and to be honest has left me speechless. They are very touching and undoubtedly full of inspiration. This proves that people on DR have a heart, and still can be some of the nicest people. Noora, just you on your own is a big inspiration to us all. So again I just want to wish you and Sean all the best and I hope that things turn out positive. I also thank you for letting me come to know what wonderful people you both are. Take care.

- Ben.

Oh Noora,

Both yours and Sean's words are so touching!!! You are so special!!! You know you and Sean are in my thoughts!!!
Take care,
Ness

P.S Am just about to PM you.

Noora,
You know how I feel about you both and the love that you have.
Just know that I am holding you in my thoughts and sending you both lots of postive energy.
Sean is a special, wonderful person and I am sure that you must me the same kind of person or you would not have found each other again.
Like attracts like and there you both are, reunited.
Keep strong sweetie, and you know where I am if either of you need me.
Lots of love,
Rach xx

I am so touched. I just keep reading your posts. Each word means so much for me and Sean as well. Thank you for being here for us. I'm speechless.

And Rach: I still want to thank you for what you did ;) ha ha, I am pretty sure that he is a fluent Finnish speaker when I’m there again :D

Hmmm.... but I must warn you - next time when you are in TX:
he probably talks only Finnish ;) Thank you soooooo much!

Also: THANKS for everyone who has sent me pm's. I appreciate everything and I have read each message, but I haven’t had time to reply, but I will do it as soon as possible. My life is extremely hectic and 24/7 does not seem to be enough these days. But you know that I’m very thankful, don’t you?


“Always and All ways”

Noora

Dear All, Dear Sean and Noora,
I am thinking of you and praying for both. You Noora are a careing and loing friend who I admire much because of this and because you are a brave woman and you go through love and to your love no matter how other can think. You love is a true one.:) And you Sean who I only know from a letter, but mostly through Noora´s I think of you too, and wonder how you are feeling and would like to tell you to not give up and fight for life.
Love and Light
;)

Dearest Noora,and Sean,
Your words are pure poetry! I feel truely blessed that during this time you have shared such heart felt love with us. I have and will continue to pray for you all. We all are fighting battles,yours are just harder than most. For you to take the time to comfort us is amazing~ but not surprising from the posts I've read from you!:)
I just Thank - you for all the strength that you have given others,as well as each other.may God Bless you both!!!

Hey Noora, You are a very strong lady and I applaud you for it, just remember "no one can make you feel bad unless you allow them", don't listen to these detractors, keep on keeping on and remember that all of us here are rooting for you and Sean! you stay strong girl and may God strengthen your resolve to continue doing that which you know is right..........
regards and a Hi-five! to Sean all the way from birmingham U.K!
You go girl!!!!
esther :)

:o You are such a brave young woman Noora, and I admire you so much.... I do admire too Sean because his spiritual path and for loving you so much.
I am praying for both of you.... and I´m sorry I can´t chat as usually, but I´m in some troubles..... I think of you, I think of Sean and I pray that sun shines for both.
With much love,
Your friend :) B

Noora,
You never cease to amaze me. The strenghth and love that eminates from every one of your posts is enlightening.
Love and best wishes to you and sean.
Thinking of you
Tonia

Thank you again about the endless support and genuine caring. It means so much for us.

I never thought that our posts would bring so much of support/strength to the others, but I am definitely happy if you people gain even something from our words. If our words make you to believe for almost impossible things and fight harder to reach your own goals – it is just wonderful!

I really wish that someday you can read our book. It is not a biography, it does not tell “our story”, but it’ll be an inspirational book. What I’ve learned (and also his many dear friends) from his wisdom and spiritual growth – I know that he has a lot to share.

I am not always that strong. I have my lousy days as well, but the love we share and wonderful true friends we both have keeps me going. I am always standing up for what I believe and I try constantly to develop myself as a human being. This is not only a battle, but this is a path that I am walking with my husband.

I do not care about blasphemous writings. Of course ignorance, stupidity and even racism (in the 21st century) hurts.

I do believe that we all are entitled to our own opinions and no one should even try to change those. But I have my wish that people could contemplate with their own free mind before/without following the crowds. There are always other sides of the story.

If I try to glance to the other side of the horizon; it does not make me to lose what I have, where do I believe in and for what I think it is the truth.

I am more than willing to have general/intelligent conversations, but unfortunately some people are not interested to do anything else than to ridicule.

Usually anonymous people tell me that I am “supporter of the murder”, “more twisted than any killer”, and of course “seeking sympathy after Sean’s possible execution”.

Hmmm… *sigh*

I think there would be easier ways to get attention or sympathy, if it would be my goal?! Don’t you think?

I do not even need to explain my inner feelings or my love to Sean, because personally I think that love is something you cannot / don’t even have to explain.

Thank you for the thoughts, prayers, love and light.
I’m wishing you all the best.

Noora,

That is so beautiful. Please dont listen to what others say, they are just ignorant!!! Follow your heart, as I know you have done. You are right that you will not be able to change others opinions, but I agree that they should always look at the other side of the story. And if they cant be bothered to look at the other side of the story then they arent even worth worrying about! I am sure that alot of us on here will get to read your's and Seans book one day. I am positive that it will be wonderful.
Take care my friend,
Ness

Noora:

I am so very sorry that there are those who have chosen to attack you and Sean. But it is simply through their ignorance that they do this. As Nessy says don't worry about what they say, you know that you both have our support here and yes, there is more than one side to every story. I hope to read your book as well. Continued prayers and wishes for you and Sean.

Sue

Ness and Sue :)

I am doing just fine ---> really ;)

I just had to write couple lines, because people are usually very interested how I deal with these "attacks" - these days I just shake my head... I am not losing my sleeps because of them and they are not my main problem, in fact they are not a problem at all.

My thoughts are with you Noora and Derek.

Since I have had a pal on DR, I have avoided reading threads like this but I was drawn to Derek's story and I am glad I have read his remarkable letter to you.

I will be praying hard tomorrow. Bless you both--all the supporters here.
