Mcabe stumbled upon the #iamsorry exhibit right after it opened and went in.
He told me he thought I should go. It felt as if I should. So I did.
Day One
I arrived at 11:30 a.m. Brad came to wait with me. We waited in line till 6:00 p.m. but I did not make it in. Almost...but not quite. There were maybe 1/2 dozen people ahead of me when all were sent home.
Before I left...I told the security guard he would see me in the morning. He suggested I arrive by 10:00 a.m.

Day Two
I arrived at 9:30 a.m. Galilee came to wait with me. At 4:30 p.m. I contemplated moving my car again (every 2 hours) but I didn't. At 5:30 I thought to myself..."I most likely have a ticket on my wind shield so there's no point in moving it now." Not wanting to risk being absent if I were ever to get on deck ...I counted the cost of staying (maybe I didn't have a ticket yet) and chose to stand firm. We waited in line till 6:00 p.m. but I did not make it in. Almost...but not quite. Again...there were maybe 1/2 dozen people ahead of me when all were sent home.
I waved farewell to the security guard, Ken. "Till tomorrow. Have a good night."
A $68 ticket was waiting for me.
Day Three
I arrived at 4:47 a.m.
I was #13 in line.
Brad and Zion arrived with Valentine's flowers for me. We prayed together right before I entered.

I got in at 2:45 p.m. Over the next 15 minutes I said what I came to say to Shia. And then I went home.

What an honor. For such a time as this.
