Tonight we walk...
The anticipation of this event has been going on for months. Tonight we begin this journey and I embrace it. We start near Soldier Field less than a quarter mile from where Laurie ended her life. That will be hard but part of the ongoing process to keep walking through the grief, the hard parts...
With over 2000 walkers, our little band of 25 (who have received donations of more than $42800!) will walk north towards Lincoln Park. Opening ceremony is at 6:30 PM and the closing ceremony is at 5:30 AM back at Soldier field. Anyone can come to either ceremony. Those 11 hours will be filled with stories, laughter, silence, tears and hope. I embrace it all.
Read Eve's blog today. (Transformation Eve, linked here) I echo her thoughts.

You did it!!! I celebrate your astounding, incredible, marvelous accomplishment. God bless you Barb, and may you sleep soundly and peacefully.
Prayed for you and the entire team throughout the night. Couldn't rest, knowing the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional challenge each of you were facing.
Joyfully anticipate hearing every detail you all can possibly post! (After sleep has done its restoring job.) Manifold blessings on ALL your dear heads.
Much love,
D.D.
I couldn't say it better than the above noter. You were in my thoughts this weekend.
