One of my favorite lines from the movie Tombstone is Doc Holiday's, when he looks at Wyatt Earp, all TB-ish and sick (sexy sick, actually) and with a little cough says Wyatt, we're rolling. It's delivered perfectly and sums up the irony and the desperation and the fact that even with half a lung left there is no other choice but to get on the damn horse and ride.
That about sums up the past few days, days that have been intermingled with tears and anger, humility and grace, warm embraces and solidarity. And as I've put one foot in front of the other I've been reminded of grace in bad times, of the extraordinary goodness of people, and what it means to not give up. It doesn't make the bad times easier, but it adds a layer of living on top of the ones that have already formed. A layer that has been cloaked in the grace of others and the ability to rally around the cause.
Thank you for your love and support.
