I am new to this and have only been on a couple of times. What I would like to know is how many women out there have a loved one on death row. I have several pen pals on death row, and have done for many years and found such a fulfilling experience. But one became so special to me, and between phone calls and letters, we fell in love. He is the warmest person I have ever come across and yet they insist he is a violent offender, obviously convicted of cold blooded murder. None of the evidence pointed to his guilt, and the jury had a real hard time in convicting him, and yet still he sits there and creates a smile. Some people have told me I must be insane, how can you love a man you may never be able to touch? But to me, love is a state of mind, not an action, and I will support and love this man until the day he is murdered by the state, which could be many years to come. But still I will get on that plane, and make my regular visits. Does anybody else have this to deal with, as I sometimes would just like to share how I am feeling, and it is truly difficult to find people who understand?
