So... where to begin. This is the first time I've really talked about this in any detail, even to a blank screen, so it's difficult, but it's something I feel I need to at least write a few words about.
The trip to Okeechobee a couple weeks ago was hard. It was damn near crippling. All of those faces and voices and feelings from the past all roled up into one place, for one purpose. I guess everything is the way it is for a reason. Everyone was distraught and confused on some level but mostly everyone was still numb from shock and disbelief. And so we were able to do the things we were there to do without combusting spontaneously and were able to smile, and laugh, and hug, and love, and cry together in a way that was somehow still comforting, and we honored our lost by joining into one giant entity that moved and breathed in unison. So many good things came out of the gathering, so much love and fellowship, that at moments it was hard to imagine the circumstances that had brought us all finally together again. But it was a beautiful, beautiful thing to behold. And she would have been so happy looking down to see the way we came together. We love you Gina, and we'll see you again soon. :)
