Our day

Hi people, it's mariah. I hope you are all doing great. we are hanging in here, strenghtned by your support. today was- i just wanted the day to pass quickly. You know when you want a day to just go, but we are still drawing strength from david and brian's visit yesterday, they have strengthened us. we had a good laugh. it feel so great today that one of our friends has been released after 18 months!! Prior to her release she locked herself up in the room; she didn't want to talk to anyone or see anyone and i know where she is coming from. i do identify with her because it happens to me sometimes. I wake up and don't want to see natural sunlight; i don't want to draw the curtains, do you get me? I don't want to see and talk to anyone and sometimes it is difficult to take my calls, but thanks to my sister sometimes she will do it for me.i can't exactly tell why i feel like that. when i look up you see where yo u fit in the world, and when you look up on days like that i just feel like crying, wondering when all this is gonna end. yeah.

Hooray in one way and woooo... on the other. 18 months is just out of order. We are hopeing for the best, that's all that is keeping us going. it's great to talk to ben this evening- wish you all the best. Love Mariah.

Hi, this is Judith, its nice you guys are still planning and are going to the gig tommorow, just can't say enough thanks. We know you are all so busy with this and that but please find some spare time to go and party hard tommorow. THings like that keep us going. We know we are not alone in this, we know that you are doing all you can to support your cause. I can't mention names right now, because there are so very many of you, mariah cracked a joke and said it might be half of england. we will forever be grateful to you guys. yesterday we had a bad joke about the food; we said we both had to go the bathroom and throw up after because the food looked like sick. But, like Eric said 'silence is golden', we couldnt agree more! I'll speak to you soon, have a nice time, take care of yourselves for us, Judith.
