A big moment!
04 October 2018 | Cruz De Ferro, The Camino, Spain
Maggie
From my journal today:
"Cruz de Ferro was smaller than I'd thought it would be...
there weren't as many personalized rocks as I thought there would be...
Yet the place is filled with tradition and symbolism and I was moved to tears as I watched Pierre from Quebec kiss and then place a heart shaped rock at the foot of the cross for his recently deceased wife...
I found a crevice in which to insert my "Maggie" rock...
Judy placed hers a little higher up...
we all hugged and wiped away tears without exchanging a word...
and then Pierre lifted his arms up above his head, declaring "it is done"
and I realized it was...
time to walk away from what had been put down at last!
My backpack and my steps were lighter as we moved on...
