(1/2) Day 176!!! We are overjoyed that Danny has been released and is on his way home – we cannot wait to hold him in our arms. We are tremendously grateful to all the people who have helped secure his release, especially @GovRichardson. #BringDannyHome
(2/2) …as well as our friends, family and the public who have expressed their support and stood by our sides as we endured these long and difficult months. Thank you! #BringDannyHome
Thank you to everyone who has kept my brother Danny in their thoughts. We are unspeakably devastated by yesterday's events, but we will not give up or rest in our efforts to #BringDannyHome no matter what it takes. We deeply appreciate your support.

Day 157. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Danny’s next hearing will be November 3rd. We thank you for your continued love and support. We will get through this. #BringDannyHome #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Day 145. Nearly 5 months. With every hearing, it's painfully difficult not to get excited about the possibility of movement that might bring us closer to Danny's release. (1/3)

Tempering expectations has been one of the ultimate tests throughout this experience. Our mission - like Danny's - is to survive. To survive the daily blows of living life in this new "normal," and to survive the psychological stress of each passing hearing date. (2/3)
If Danny can do it, we can do it.
Today, we're going to do what we always do after a hearing. We'll get pissed off, we'll realign, and we'll come out stronger and do the work necessary until we get to the next hearing on October 27th. We will not stop until we #BringDannyHome.
Day 134. We woke this morning to yet another court hearing that came and went. We always have hope, but we had a bit more for this hearing since it was Danny's first in-person appearance in over two months. (1/6)

And to see the worry momentarily wash away from my parents' faces was the medicine I needed. Of course, we're nowhere close to celebrating, but we'll take the glimmers of hope and levity where we can get them. (5/6)
On behalf of my family, we thank you so much for your continued love and support over the past four months. It fuels us, and we are grateful. #BringDannyHome

Day 107. In 2014, American-Iranian journalist @jrezaian was working as the @washingtonpost Bureau Chief in Tehran. On July 22, 2014 he was arrested and jailed by Iranian authorities, and detained for 544 days. His piece today on Danny’s detention (1/2)

provides a level of resonation and perspective that, safe to say, could only be written through shared experience. If you have only a few spare moments today, this piece is worthy of them. Thank you, @jrezaian 🙏 (2/2) #BringDannyHome
Day 106. Rosh Hashanah. As we enter into the High Holy Days tonight, this window of time takes on new significance for my family. A wish for a sweet new year ahead, while also acknowledging our suffering and wrongdoings in the days leading up to Yom Kippur. (1/4)
For us, it’s a further tightening of the vise as another virtual hearing has come and gone and he was once again remanded. September 20th is the next hearing.
In Danny’s absence, we have a deep void. But our hearts are full knowing our family is together in spirit, (3/4)
and ultimately, it is this notion which our faith teaches us endures all.
While nothing can take away what lives on within us, we look forward to a New Year with Danny and Juliana by our sides. L’shanah Tova. (4/4)
