We do everything together.
He's my best friend.
Like we just enjoy each other's company.
Like if I'm out somewhere without him or vice versa,
We just don't feel filled because that person is missing.
It's like I feel very lucky and blessed that I'd met such an amazing person in such a, you know, place where it's not normal basically.
Absolutely.
It's actually been really good medicine for the both of us, being able to talk about our pasts and then putting it together.
And neither one of us have ever felt that we were any victim of anything.
We just feel that, you know, making a change, changing your patterns, just the language of it all, how it can help other people change.
Yeah, I mean, Peter's the backbone of it all, not so much myself, but I support him with it because he's had a traumatic childhood.
He's watched what his mother's gone through, what his father has been like, to then being in jail for most of his young adult life.
to then coming out to, well, being with an officer, to then just, you know, making a point of difference, like changing the pattern, not ever once said that he was a victim of anything.
He just stood up as a man.
Yes, he was.
He was 19 years old.
Yes, that's right.
That act of kindness from a guard, which, you know, Peter was never used to that type of thing because he never had that as a kid growing up.
So...
That meant a lot to him, so that's why I think he made sure he started to teach himself how to read.
