"Because the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair"
-Relient K
Today we witnessed grace.

Grace it what brings the strongest to tears
and the weakest to comfort them
Grace is what made black streaks run down my face
and what brought others to wipe them away
Grace is what made who seemed like to most heartless people in the world
bring themselves to make amends
Grace brought love into our hearts
and forgiveness into our minds
Grace is the spirit we all felt within ourselves
and the spiritual rain that seemed to cleanse our souls.

I wear my tears like a badge, make-up running down my face like a formal uniform.
The love I felt for Martin and everyone there was a miracle. A miracle that I could feel both destroyed and rebuilt at the same time.
Remembering Martin is like drinking a glass of cool water on a hot day and brings me relief that such a person could exist in a world like ours.
Today was a relief that we can still feel as one.
It really sucks that we had to have a tragedy such as this to bring us together, but now that we are together, let's stay together. Let's work to create a world that Martin would have been proud to live in and that we can not only live, but thrive.

Martin sent us grace from Heaven, so let's use it.
