I have been writing to somebody on death row for close to a year now, and was one of the best things I have done, i felt it helped me in many ways, not only him. I've become more aware of things around me, I appreciate things more. He gives me alot of strength through his letters.
There is always that "attachment" but Im so glad I took a chance.
I hope this helps some Blondee, and I hope the DR pal you choose is as wonderful as mine
