June news and Mom's Sunrise
A little while ago Brandon's mom, Pat, sent Brandon a picture of the sun rising behind her and Norm's house. Brandon's a self-taught artist and has been trying hard to learn to paint for some time now. He has recently gotten comfortable with the medium. As his first finished piece he chose to paint the rising sun with acrylic and water color as a Mother's Day gift for Pat.
Gene and I are Brandon's willing elves whenever needed so we picked the painting up at the hobby desk in the prison reception area and had it framed. We delivered it this weekend. Pat knows how therapeutic Brandon's artwork is for him and still struggles with his darker pieces - they convey his life and his pain so vividly that it's hard to bear. Brandon knows this so this painting, titled "Mom's Sunrise," was created especially for her. You can tell how much it meant to her by the picture in the photo gallery. She loved it!
On another note, Charles Grodin's play, "The Prosecution of Brandon Hein," will be presented Monday, June 5th in New York. Details are available on the media page. From what we hear, the play will be presented on a regular basis starting in the fall.
With regards to the appeal - no news yet.

I found the picture that Brandon painted for his mom. It is beautiful and his mom looks really proud. All of the pictures are wonderful. I am just a stranger looking in and I felt overcome with sadness as I looked at the pictures. I just can't tell you how sorry I am.
You are all in my prayers and will continue to be so until Brandon is home where he belongs.
