OMG I so agree. Every time I see a documentary on people who have been jailed for life without parole...my throat literally starts closing up at the thought of it. To be locked up anywhere, never to feel the grass under your feet, never to go to the beach, never to take a dog for a walk in the park , never to drive a car again... I would go mad!!! ..
Hope..."the thing with feathers." And when that hope is eroded or vanishes, I substitute another one!
