I think one of the most amazing things about this blog is the fact that you guys actually drop in and read whatever it is that I’m blathering on about. I expect my family. Some of my friends from home. Maybe a few close PC friends.

But what astonishes and humbles is who I DON’T expect, and the outpouring of love and support that is so completely unexpected (and undeserved). Especially in the very few, very short hours since my last post.

I have heard from such a marvelous, diverse cast of my very favoritest characters: my closest friends and family, people whom I worked with a few years ago, fellow volunteers from across the island who I haven’t gotten to know as well, and beloved friends and role models from high school (yes, you Skye!) who have also slaved away in the service of our three goals.

SO MUCH LOVE. So much, I just do not know what to do with it. Everyone goes through some shit, no matter where you are, or at what period of your life, and everyone has shared their stories with me. I am so honored. There just aren’t words, that you have opened up and reached out. Wow. Just wow.

So thank you all very, very much. I know I will sleep easier tonight.
