Letter to inmate number 357284: Wilcox, M.
Dear Maria
I hope you’re OK and that prison life is bearable. Thank you for what you have done for me. I am grateful for it every single day.
I know now what my father was like, what sort of man he was. I know you didn’t mean to get mixed up with him, and I’m sorry that you did. I want you to know I don’t blame you for that. For any of it. Not after what you did for me.
I am at uni now, studying to be a lawyer. When I graduate, I am going to take on cases like ours. I want to make up for it, for what I have done. I want to get you out. I think of you every day.
I love you more than anyone in the world. Always.
