...."But I think that I manage to keep myself together, because, you know, me and my father, we write back and forth.  And, you know, we're constantly talking to each other, even though - and, you know, we're not going to let Texas separate us, because we love each other so much.  I mean, I don't think there is a relationship this big, as me and my father's.  We just, you know, we adore each other, and we love each other so much.  And I just think that if we fight for his life, that I don't think that Texas should take away my father's life."

Last Tuesday, August 7, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals denied death row prisoner Kenneth Foster's final appeal.  Foster's last recourse is the Board of Pardons and Paroles, and Texas Governor Rick Perry.  If this fails, he will be executed on August 30, 2007.

It was not enough that the murderer of Michael LaHood has already been executed for his crime.  Two men dead -- shooter and victim.  Now the state will take yet a third life, that of Kenneth Foster Jr.

Left behind will be a remarkable Princess with only half a heart.

Suffer the little children.
