To me, these two really sum up what it means to love someone who is incarcerated. It takes great strength, and it takes nonjudgmental heart- to know that everyone in this world deserves love, despite everyone trying to say they don't. Regardless of what anyone does- at the end of the day we are all HUMAN. I love these two. Thanks.
