an outing

Friday night I got the opportunity to escape, to forget about what I had just learned and to feel freedom at the home of Brad and Nicole and the love they showed and the time we spent together was priceless, absolute and priceless.

I yearn for more evenings and nights like Friday as I was able to fly within myself and feel good, even though I explained to them what I had learned on Friday and yet the tears that we cried and the compassion that they showed made it all alright and I knew I was safe, wanted and loved,

as were they...
