"I remember the first time I came here, it's been a rough six years and I'm just happy to not be that person anymore, and so is my wife" the man said into the microphone, causing a low chuckle from the audience. He continued, "thank you for letting me do this. That's all I have to share right now". Everyone clapped.
"Is there anyone else who'd like to share with us tonight?" Asked the emcee.
"Uh, yeah" said a voice from the crowd, it was mine.
I stepped up to the mike, sweat was pouring down my face. "My name is Marshall" I said, introducing myself.
"Hi Marshall" the crowd responded in unison.
I took a deep breath and a whole world of memories hit me at once.
