Wow. Thank you for sharing this. I am truely touched.

Thank you for sharing Greg. This Canadian remembers the day well, exactly where I was and who I was with, and friends that lost loved ones. Sharing our stories is absolutely a gift and 'seismic crisis' seem to abound. You're so bang on about serving where we are called to be. Especially in this day and age. We're to use our gifts and abilities for such a time as this. Here's to doing work we're proud of and building epic shit 🙌
