Please hug and hold the people around you tonight ...

... as you know we would if we were amongst you – and keep those emails, good vibes, and prayers coming ...

The desire to see this story told is enormous ...

... and the opportunity to experience and tell it is tremendous -- so how could the resulting film-to-be not be amazing?
