My internet is still down. I am at the center writing this. Today has been a dream. One horrible dream I can't wake up from. Erika puts it so well here.

I am still numb. I can not stay on top of all things running through my head right now. After I got the call I came here as fast as I could. My first thought was to be with my family. My work family.

The stream of teens has been non-stop. He touched so many lives. I think he would have been humbled by this. This love so strong, multiplied a thousand times the love he gave us.

One minute I am comforting the kids, the next minute they are comforting us. They are amazing. They tell stories of him. Memories through the tears. Tomorrow we will find some way to tell him how we feel. We will gather and be strengthened by each other and by the words. The words that seem too weak to possibly convey everything he was. He is.
