After everything that NFL superstar Aaron Hernandez had been through this year, it seems like getting fan mails is one of the things that keeps his spirits up. The former New England Patriots tight end player, who was found guilty of killing his friend Odin Lloyd in Massachusetts early this year, reportedly receives tons of letters from fans while he is serving his life sentence imprisonment at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Lancaster, Massachusetts.
Entertainment news site TMZ recently obtained a copy of Hernandez's response to a fan mail from a female sender, and the former professional football player appears to be very friendly in the letter.
"I am doing well and will always, we have so much to be thankful for in life, even when we naturally focus on the negatives," he told his fan in his handwritten letter. "But there are many ways we are all blessed and should all wake up with smiles, daily!"
Hernandez also apologized for taking him a long time to answer the letter, saying that he constantly receives "numerous letters daily." But he thanked the sender for reaching out to him and giving him continuous support at this time in his life.
The 25-year-old athlete also wished his fan well, and as a response when the sender seemed to have wanted to visit him in the facility, he wrote, "You should have asked, I would have accepted, but don't regret it, everything happens for a reason ;) lol".
Hernandez had multiple criminal records before the killing of semi-pro football player Lloyd in 2013. His first brush with the authorities was in 2007, when he was involved in a bar fight and a double shooting incident in Florida when he was only 17-years-old. In 2014, Hernandez was also indicted on the double murder charges for the murder of Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu and Safira Teixeira Furtado in 2012.
