With all of the funerals over and the investigation beginning it is time for us to start the process of moving on. That is going to be so hard to do. When I hear about tragedies my heart always goes out to the people involved but how often do we think about the people left behind. Not the immediate family, we know what they are going through, it is horrible but the ones that have to keep on going. Our men have to go back to work, after losing 29 men that they worked with all the time, that they counted as brothers, while knowing that it could have just as easily been them. Most of the miners are being transferred to other mines and have started going through orientation and starting over at a new place. Some of them are being left there to either help shut the mines down or help get it started again, when that decision is made. For all of them though it is the loss of a family. Not only have they lost those who gave their lives that day but they have lost the whole family that they had there at Performance. It's a lot to give up, a lot to get over and I don't think most of them even know where to begin. We have a long road ahead of us but we are strong. They are strong. They are a special group of men.
