“We continued to push each other;
Knowing that he HAD to come home;
We met;
We talked;
We supported each other;
We planned;
We wrote;
We advocated;
We reached out;
We spoke;
We pushed and cajoled;
We did not tell ourselves “no;”
When others told us “no” we kept pushing;
MANY friends and organizations kept us afloat;
And gave us energy.”
Poem by Professor Brian Endless
