Afterthoughts

I probably should have said this in our group circle tonight, but I'm not very good at vocally expressing what I want to say, but I just want to thank everyone in our group for talk circle tonight. We all have had and are still having a really difficult time processing the past few days. Walking into Mandela Park was difficult for me, but the moment that really just put me in the moment was when we walked into the women with diabetes' home. And all I could think about was "I want to run out of this place, I want to go home, I just can't deal with this anymore." And if I wasn't physically trapped in that room, I probably would have ran out. And although it was incredibly difficult, I am thankful I did not leave. And after that, I checked out. It was just too much for me. But, anyway, I have been avoiding thinking about the past few days...I just didn't know where to start, and am still working on my own personal processing, but tonight really helped. And I just want to thank all of my group members for just being there to help me through that process.
