“Mom hadn't met Ramon; her advocacy was more arm's length - petitions, the website, letter writing, meetings with politicians. Her friend Hanna had formed a close friendship with Ramon though, visiting him as often as she could. Hanna told me that Ramon's greatest regret was that he wouldn't get to see his daughter grow up. And Jeremy's dad, who had that opportunity, was just throwing it away. It made me furious, and I couldn't let it go.” LoveDeathParentFriendshipGriefFamilyChildhoodDyingCrimeMomDadPoliticianDaughterEthicsPrisonYoung AdultJailFriendTeenFatherhoodDeath PenaltyWebsiteFuriousAdvocacyCriminalAwayGrow UpThrowPetitionJeremyHannaRamon Book:The World Without Us Source: The World Without Us
