CT finally had the fortitude to take out the garbage.
I was astounded when I heard the news this morning.
Would Dzung Tu have been 49 this year?
Prayers for all of you.
Yes, Dzung would be 49 this year. Just got back to NYC an hour ago from Connecticut.I went up with Lan last night to the prison. Lan could not witness the execution, but he was in a room very close by. He made a great witness statement once it was all over.
We both felt a sense of relief last night, but I noticed this morning that Lan looked much more sad than last night. I think it's going to be a rollercoaster for him, and me too.
It was bizarre to be at the prison. I was standing by the media holding place, where the reporters were all laughing and jabbering. But at 2:01 am, the time when the execution was to take place the room went dead silent. Between that time and 2:25 when the warden announced that he was dead, it was surreal . For me, the best part of the evening was seeing Lan get to meet the families of the other victims and also the two detectives who cracked the case. I was nervous about going up but I am glad I did because Lan should not have been there by himself. I think Dzung would have been glad to know we were there.
