Thank you for keeping in touch with him. It seems like he had a few people that did, but most days must have been very lonely - knowing that a visit or a letter would eventually come gave him some strength and hope.
Thanks! I do love this man and he has been a great help to me too but yes his life needs more colour and outlook then prison gives so I help.
I'm so thankful for people like you who are willing to recognize human dignity in all people and even moreso that Jim has had you in his life for these decades. This story is incredibly important and this book is a really strong vehicle for telling it. While it may be too much to hope that it frees Jim, unfortunately Florida these days is not a great place for him to be, but hopefully it might open some people's eyes to the risks of jailhouse witnesses and the lengths some prosecutors will go to protect their win/loss record or to grandstand for voters who don't even seem to understand when crime is going down.
That's my long rant, but thank you for sharing your story and for commenting here. Wishing you all the best.
Thank you! We do still hope! Mainly because hoping is a Dailey specialty but also I can't just accept him dying alone in the dark while there is this whole life out here waiting for him!
Loved this book and so much sadness is within its pages.
Loved the book and your role in Jim’s life. An uplifting aspect of a very dark story
I am glad you loved it. His story is hard and sad bit the man is NOT. He is the most joyeous person I know. That of course makes the story of his life even More tragic. STILL i am lucky to have him in my life!
Thank you for all you have done for Jim. In a story with so many villains, you are one of the heros.
I was happy to read your review. Loved the book and reading about you.
Bless you for your kindness writing to a stranger who needed to hear some humanity in his life without knowing anything else about him.
What a wonderful friend you are and have been and remain. I hope as you do that Jim will one day be released. Whatever the outcome, I feel sure that your friendship has lightened his load and brought him comfort. God Bless.
Thanks for the sweet comments. Truly I AM blessed to have him as a friend for all these years because he is a truly remarkable person! I just won the pen pal lottery!
