Barrett's Place Part II
Today I went back out to support the cause from eight this morning til eight tonight and despite my body hating me for it my heart has grown five times bigger and appreciates it so much. Out of those 12 hrs I was there, I must have spent at least 8 of em shoveling. My back doesn't want to shovel for another 5 yrs... it told me so. I was so drained at times during the day that to continue and keep picking up that shovel seemed impossible but surprisingly I was able to. Every time I wanted to stop, I simply looked around and remembered why I was there and everyone else for that matter and the drive from that purpose has helped us all to look deep inside ourselves and kept bringing out the best in all of us in every shovel, every nail and so forth. You literally cannot walk a foot of Barrett's Place without having touched a piece of all of us that have been out there.
And we did it all for this child. And for all those who went before him... And we're all going to do it again tomorrow.
