Chicago

We taped the show yesterday. Quite an experience. We will post it after we get back to Georgia and collect our thoughts... as if there is any chance of that! Thanks so much for all the positive affirmations. You got us through it. One more thing...

As we wrote, we had only two heartfelt goals in agreeing to participate with this program. One was to honor Eric and we think the show does it well (from what we can remember... it's all a blur). The other was to help people who might be in "griefs fire" even if it was only one family.

Ryan awoke us with his call at around midnight. He had a story he wanted to tell us. On the flight back to Maine he zoned out until shortly before they landed in Portland and then chatted with his seat mate. 'Where are you from', 'Where do you work', 'What do you do'... we have all had these conversations 100 times. And the last question 'Why were you in Chicago?'. Ryan told the story. The man began to weep. His 19 year old son had been killed in a fire in February 2008. Ryan offered our family. We will be speaking soon.

Guess we got everything we had hoped for. The Universe doesn't drag it's feet...
