Not in the sense of leaving a battle. In the sense of taking yourself away and assessing, thinking, praying, talking.
This weekend (Thursday to Sunday) I will be at the CYO Camp in Occidental, Southern California. Myself and my boss are leading the students of the 8th Grade in a retreat of transition. Preparing them to separate when going to high school, helping them to grow a stronger bond with each other to allow friendships to remain, and helping them discuss the loss of their classmate in the San Bruno explosion. They have had the opportunity for counseling but this will be a tough weekend for them as they talk to each other about it.
Wish me luck. The hardest yet most rewarding part of my job is about to begin.
