Well, I survived Day one of the conference. Quite a few folks are aware that Alicia died. They have ranged from very gracious to the usual 'I'm so sorry for your loss'. I empthaize with them and say there is nothing that can be said and I very much appreciate their support. Every once in a while there is an ackward moment when I am speaking with someone that is not aware and someone else verbalizes support. This happened a few times today to which some I stopped and struggled with the truth then later I just totally skipped over it all. I'm not sure how to continually handle this situation but will probably just let it happen and see which way I go based on how it feels at the moment.
Its odd to fly my family to Orlando right now. We did not come down here with Alicia. So it does not completely feel right. That hole in my heart is feeling large right now.
The family arrives tonight at 11pm. The idle time on board was hard for me. I hope it is easier for them.
