I want to thank all of you. At current, I have had 4060 blog views: something I never dreamed of. I'm overwhelmed by the number of you who faithfully followed (and are still following) my blog, the number of you that helped me by passing my link around and by the amount of feedback I've had.
I can't express my gratitude, but I tear up as I receive your kind words regarding what I have witnessed, and as I embark on a new journey to educate and relate these sites, feelings, and teachings to the rest of the world; to my community, to my classmates, friends, family, and all I meet.
I didn't expect my blog to grow - so rapidly and to such an extent. My original intent was to use this blog as a quick, efficient way to contact people at home, rather than sending several emails to those who worried about my whereabouts.
I am, however, thrilled that this has became an educational tool -- for all of my readers, as well as for myself. I hope to continue this blog in the future, as I try to overcome and answer the questions I still don't understand, as I plan on routes of action and education - projects I will be working on alone, as well as with groups, and as I get ready for a leadership retreat in Toronto at the end of August.
Thank you all for your kind words, once more. It means more than I can say to know that you are not only reading my journeys and expressions, but sharing in my emotions with me.
Stay tuned for the remainder of my journal entries and further reflections in the coming days.

Bless you for being affected by what you saw and heard. It's up to your generation to pass this to the next one so that this horror is NEVER forgotten.
