“Really, I’m on death row, you’re all the way over here in fucking America, away from your family and friends, so how the hell are we going to help each other? We are going to help each other like we’re doing right now, just 20 minutes on the phone with each other, talking about anything and everything under the sun. And at the end of the fucking day, no matter where we’re at, no matter what country we’re in, no matter what the circumstances are, we are who we are, deep down inside, and all the things that ever hurt us, they also made us, you know what I mean? And they led us right here together, at this exact moment, to this pure, beautiful, amazing friendship.”

« I got your surprise last night! YOU ARE THE BEST! You are the absolute best fiancée in the history of the world! Yeah, it was so cool last night. So I pull out the decorations from the envelope, and I was like “Aaawwww! She did it!” Yeah, and I got hella emotional and was super happy about it. So, do you know how I spent my night last night? I went and dug out all my Christmas tree decorations from last year, and I set them up all over my desk, TV, and stuff so it looks nice :) Then, I took all of the bulbs and I tied them onto lengths of thin string and I used a little paste to put them all over. Some are hanging on the top bunk, so they’re right at eye level if I’m sitting down. Some are hanging from the top desk, right above my TV. And a few are hanging from the ceiling, and it’s really festive in here right now! I’m really feeling the Christmas Spirit! :) We’ve got all type of decorations up, and the whole house smells like your perfume :) Plus, when the fan is on, it doesn’t blow directly on the bulbs, of course, but the moving air causes the bulbs to spin slowly. And it just feels really Christmasy!! :) Especially from where I’m sitting right now. It feels like the whole house is alive and festive! It’s awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. You have no idea what an awesome feeling it was to hang up the decorations or how many times I’ve smiled since I’ve received them. »
There’s no feeling like making him feel the Christmas Spirit despite his circumstances - Merry Christmas to you all ♥
