Maiden Voyage

A 2 point chest suspension was on G's mind for a long time. 

The circumstances pushing us to this moment, and the circumstances under which this suspension took place are only appropriate. Steve Joyner facilitated this experience, and his repeated mention of 'everything happens for a reason' over the years rung true as ever at this moment in her life.
Jill Coudray helped me pierce this, and Brian Sane held the ropes. I learned how to throw hooks from Jill, Brian learned under me. We are all equals now, and share tears and smiles, losses and gains that have accumulated over the  years. 
The love that everybody involved in this has together is stronger than the elements; this suspension shows the true beauty of our family.
The meaning behind this experience is even deeper in that her suspension was the first to hang from this custom plate made by Joe of SMS for Anchors Aweigh.
