I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has signed the petition and continues to stand with me. Your support truly means more than words can express.

This past year has been incredibly heavy. Living on death row is mentally and emotionally exhausting, and being separated from family during difficult times takes a toll that is hard to describe. On top of that, the recent wave of executions in Florida has deeply affected all of us here.

Three close friends of mine are currently facing active death warrants. Watching people you care about move closer to execution is something no one should have to endure. The current governor continues to sign warrants without pause, and the weight of that reality has been overwhelming.

What has kept me standing through all of this is my family. Without them, I honestly don’t know how I would have survived this year. My wife and my child are my foundation, my strength, and the reason I keep going. Their love means everything to me.

This year challenged my mental health in ways I never expected, but I can say this truthfully: I am finding my footing again. I am stronger now, clearer in my purpose, and ready to stand back up, roll up my sleeves, and keep fighting.

I want to come home to my wife and my kid and hold them tight.
And I am not giving up.

Thank you for believing in me, for standing with my family, and for continuing this fight alongside us.

And if you want to share the petition, I will be forever grateful.

I have hope that my lawyer will get some news from the court soon. But hey, this is Florida... It takes time. 

Always,
Brett
