I want to hang out with him some more.
And the mom squats down and says to her and whispers in her ear, just yell really loudly that you love him.
He'll hear you.
And so she presses her sticky little hands and her wet face against the window and she screams, daddy, I love you.
And I look down at this girl and I'm disgusted.
I'm a public defender and there's a lot of people that are bothered with what I do or disgusted by my clients because they're charged of really heinous things.
But I have always been proud of what I did.
I try to keep people out of jail.
But it wasn't until that moment when I saw that girl that I was disgusted with what I did, that I had any part of this system, that I had any part in this girl's sorrow.
I left the prison, I took off my shirt, and I came home.
A couple weeks later, I took my shirt to work, primarily because I didn't know what to do with the shirt, and it was just kind of sitting on my coffee table for a number of weeks.
So I brought it into my office, and I put it into my bottom drawer.
A few weeks after that, I get an email from a colleague that she had sent to a couple of the attorneys explaining that one of her clients, a 17-year-old girl, had just been released from jail and was going to a shelter and needed clothing.
So I opened up the bottom drawer in my office and I looked down at that shirt.
And that shirt was the only piece of goodness, kindness, and humanity that I felt that day that I went to go visit Michael.
So I took that shirt, I gave it to my colleague, which she gave to her client to pay it forward.
Thank you.
