The Time We Touched

"Goodbyes are hard, and we're going to miss each other, but we'll all have one thing. We'll all remember that time, that moment when it was real, and we were really, physically here. That time we touched."
Nando told me this as I got in my car to drive away from my friends after Elevation not knowing whether or not I would return or ever see them again. It's not an exact quote, but the feeling resides in my heart. The time we touched. It really sums up my feelings about the entire trip. That time we were there and things were real. The adventure, the laughter, the pain and the tensions, the small moments where everything was nice and peaceful. I may not remember the details forever, but the feeling will remain in my heart.
Love.
I love my friends. I love everybody, to be honest. There really isn't anybody who I really hate. But the people who I will remember. The ones who will remain in my heart are these ones.

So to these people, my family away from family:
I love you. Thank you for being a part of my life. Chances are we will never be like this together ever again. Oh well. So is life. Thank you for living it up with me. The adventure was real. May the Lord bless you in all your efforts, and may we meet again is my prayer. Peace be unto you.
Best Wishes,
Dallin
