Dearest Shane,
I am marking your second birthday by envisioning you walking out of Evin Prison a free man, full of courage, strength & gratitude. Fast forward to your wedding day with a radiant Sarah as your life partner & Josh standing strong beside you as your best man. Fast forward to your next birthday shared with your close knit family, full of joy & love & gratitude for your freedom. Fast forward to the day when you win your next award for humanitarian work that upholds the principles of justice, equality and peace.
On your birthday, I hope you can hear Sarah’s voice singing “all they can take from us is a piece of time” — and that you can feel us all hoping & praying that this challenging period will soon be well behind you.
Much love to you & Josh,
Salina
xoxo
PS. Friends, you can view some of Shane’s award-winning photojournalism here. My personal favourite is the series on residential housing projects in San Fran
