I was waiting for Mick to say something about the weekend! All the people Mick mentioned are absolutely wonderful and the music was out of this world. I loved meeting all the new folks (including Marion - I FINALLY met Marion!) and I loved renewing friendships. These folks were all gathered because they care for Rick and Heather, and joy just saturated the air. I've been using the word "joy" a lot lately. No apology. It was a turning point. It was the place where the future began. I still don't quite know how to put my feelings about Rick, Heather and the weekend into words. Maybe I don't have to. If you can imagine the happiest time in your life, one where the world was better than perfect because it didn't just go right but there was a sense of wonder in the air - that was how the visit felt to me. I carried that feeling home.
