Nick, We don't know each other, but we are both in similar situations with the media + a high degree of public scrutiny. If you are anything like me, I'm sure you receive tons of "fan mail" each day from total strangers who say pretty much anything you can think of. I just want you to know that you are not alone. And for what it is worth, I can sympathize with the dynamics of your case, esp. in light of the public. It's not us, Nick, but something "off" with society, that our situations garner more attention + print than the President, the election, or even an earthquake killing thousands.

I've honestly, not been following your case, except in hearing that our names are mentioned frequently on the news. Keep your head up and never lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel. You have more people support + pulling for you than you will ever know. I believe the character of an individual is measured over the long haul.
