Together again

I am exhausted. It was a long day but good one. Our support circle was back together again after about a month of not being complete. It was magical and, as always, so right. I thought about a million things to write about on the bus ride to tia's apartment, but it's more like days' worth of ideas and feelings and reactions to write about. Right now i'll just say that i decided something on the bus. Despite the terrible circumstances that brought us together, that led us to seek out CancerCare, we 9 were meant to be together. We were meant to be here for each other, right now. We fit, we are right.

Rooftop Circle was SO much fun. And it was great to sit there and have the sun set and the evening lay over us as we continued bonding in the warm city breeze.

I've often thought of the lyrics of the Muppets classic, "Saying Goodbye," (from The Muppets Take Manhattan) when thinking of my mom, and all our loved ones, and even on the night our group with Dominic at CC ended. But here's another song from the same movie that i was reminded of tonight.

[Kermit whistling]
[Kermit:]
Do, do, do, do, da da da, doo da do do do (etc.)
Together again
Gee, it's good to be together again
I just can't imagine that you've ever been gone!
It's not starting over, it's just going on!

[Miss Piggy:]
Together again
Now we're here and there's no need remembering when.

[Fozzie:]
Cause no feeling feels like that feeling!

[All three:]
Together again!

[All:]
Together again
Gee, it's good to be together again
I just can't imagine that you've ever been gone!
It's not starting over, it's just going on!
[Dr. Teeth & Floyd:]
Together again
Now we're here and there's no need remembering when
[All:]
Cause no feeling feels like that feeling!
Together-a!
Together-a!
Together-a!
Together again....!
Together again!!
