power of love

Today I was moved beyond measure.

In my class we are together for 4 hours 5 days a week, sometimes more. This can create bonds, drama and ultimately buttons can be pushed. Recently the group has had a lot of issues. But today one of our classmates announced that he was dropping out  because of his medical condition. Crying in front of the class, he told us that this was the first place where he felt loved and accepted. At that point the whole class got up and crowded around him and gave him a group hug. It was so moving to see everyone joining together to show this young man that he was treasured in this group.

I hope that he gets better and that our group can put our issues aside and support each other like we supported him today.
