Today was a good day.
I have returned to FL to partake in a conference that I have made lifelong friends.

It was here I was first invited to share my knowledge 3D printing. Then the next year I was a presenter of what I learned from the year of 3D printing with students and personal observations. I also took time to be a co-presenter about Large interactive displays.

However the deepest changes came last year with spending time with friends. We spent hours in sessions supporting one another, eating, conversating, and making memories. The last day saw us almost crying about separating, however that was temporary. Through the power of technology, we created an avenue which we could keep in touch. Voice, text, pictures were shared throughout the year. We all encountered the ups and downs of life and shared much of them with one another. When anyone in the group met up with each other, we would take pictures and deepen the relationship. However, I have not been able to meet anyone since January.

That changed today.
I must admit. I held on a bit longer than considered normal, but that was communicated and expected due to the circumstances. I soaked in every face, laugh, and conversation. It was a good day to be with friends who care enough to have a long distance relationship every day.
