“I’m waiting on the rain to come and wash it all away.”
We all carry heavy things. Some of it can never be taken back or fixed. Some losses come out of nowhere. Some happened a long time ago. Neither one is easier than the other.
Twenty four hours on those steps gives you a lot of time to sit with what actually matters, and with the what ifs you usually keep buried.
The rain came. It poured through the night, through the last climb, and it was still coming down when we walked away. It didn’t wash anything away. That isn’t how it works. But no one that day and into the night moved through it alone. Those names were said aloud and are remembered.
What an absolutely amazing experience and what an incredible weekend.
Thank you to everyone who donated.
