I was going to give a review, and I will, but right now I need to cry a little because I already miss everyone so much. I know, just because other people are autistic, that does not automatically mean that you'll love all of them. But I did. I do. Every single person who attended was my favorite person in the world in some way. I know if any one of you had attended,you would be too. I have never ever felt so comfortable being me, Vicky, in my entire life.

I get emotionally attached to people as well. I'm looking forward to reading your review. :)

Vicky, I am really proud of you and I am so glad it went so well. Sounds like it was a moving and powerful time for everyone. It's so great that you got to make deep friendships from this. Well done Vicky. I know you will remember this for the rest of your life.

PACLA is putting together a photoessay on the retreat. This is a good thing because my husband had planned on recording much of the retreat but was sick in bed the entire time and wasn't able to. Since other people did, there will be pictures to share soon.

Is the photo-essay on-line already?
Are there other photos, or reviews, on-line?
