for so long i have been searching for what true community means, and even though i probably am never going to come to a complete understanding i have been overlooking such a vital week in my life where all i experienced was that type of community.

all ages II.

and my heart has been broken since all ages II, as i and many others knew it, will never happen again. but those 17 weeks over the past 17 years can never, ever be replaced. for that, i am thankful. and my friends who make up the true community will forever hold a special place in my heart. and they are coming to my house in a matter of hours, and even though we won't be at merom, we will be together, and that is just what we need.
