The strength I sense on the Death Row board simply amazes me. I think under the same circumstances I would be paralyzed with terror, but you ladies are still standing up and walking around and I am absolutely filled to the brim with admiration for your love and loyalty!
Bless you all!

No, it may not be something you signed up for- but only somebody with a truly evolved appreciation of what love really means could do it for real- with empathy instead of pity, with courage- what she said. You guys blow my mind. I'm sure there is that sense of, if anybody had told me this was how my life was gonna go I never would have believed them. I have a little of that feeling just because of the basic prison thing. But clear-eyed and steadfast are the words that come to mind with you folks. And I spent Xmas at prison and I kept thinking, wasn't He in fact a death penalty survivor...
Haswtch YOU give us strength to, and keep us positive letting us know that there is such things as a good outcome, even if they are still in prison. You know, the fight NEVER ends, but I wouldnt change my situation for the world.

Thank you Shoshana and Haswtch. Yes, it is very hard, the hardest thing I have been through, for my husband and the love of my life to be on death row, but somehow I make it through every day. Randy and I give each other hope, and we will hang onto that hope always, that he will be home with me one day. He is my life, my hope, my heart, and my strength...and I will never give up the fight to save him.
To all the ladies who have a loved one on the row, we ARE truly so strong and we have to stick together. :) God Bless us all and our men. Happy New Year, ladies!

every one of these guys on DR has a good chance to get OFF the row.
my ex was on DR for 20 years in california and he's off the row now....and he *is* guilty of two first degree pre-mediated murders... still in prison. but off the row! it happens and it's happening more and more and more!! some of these guys will leave prison for good and some will get LWOP (like my ex) or reduced sentences but there enough folks on these boards who've seen their friends/loved ones leave the row that we know it's possible! a very good friend of mine is an *innocent* man on DR. he's been there for 21 years. he was convicted falsely, convicted on lies...he was --nowhere near-- the scene of the crime and was NOT an accomplice and every day i remember that he's innocent and justice will come to him, finally! keep the faith everyone!
Thanks for your kind words Blessed_be. I love reading stories like yours, and haswtch. Jason was accused from the same kind of thing, purely testimony, no where near. Your words were encouraging, thankyou.
