Start.
I have been missing the moment to be close with my parents. Be close to them in person. Honestly, after being away from them for over 6 years, I am still have the need to be close with them. Though I am thankful for Skype where we can chat and see each other. But it is just different.
This is not a choice. Not a decision to make.
But I am here with my husband and 2 daughters. God provides wonderful families and friends.
After 6 years, I learned different meaning for “close.”
Close it doesn’t have to be in person.
Close it doesn’t have mean distance.
Close means though they are far, but they are always there in my heart and mind.
Close means I can see through my faith that God is in there.
Close means dependence on His presence.
Close means being with Him.
Stop.
Visiting from FMF. Thank you for these words.
Knowing my son is out there (career military)
And knowing he is inky an email, tweet or Facebook and phone call
away is what saves me literally
For someone who has lost both of their parents do whatever you have to do to stay close!!
Blessings!
