Today was a very hard day for me. I stuffed my face with food, hoping that it would fill the void I felt. All day I felt like I was mourning the loss of someone who is still very much alive. Geographical distance has always been a struggle for me...but the emotional chasm that has been created is almost too much to bear. There are certain acts of deliberate kindness that we seriously take for granted. I guess I didn't realize how much sharing a simple "I love you" or "I miss you" or "How was your day?" affects our lives until the ability to do so is taken away.
This day has been on my calendar all year. Over the past several weeks I have thumbed through my day planner and as my attention is drawn to this particular day I think of all the ways I can convey my love - an e-card, an email, a loving thought, tears, a prayer.
My heart is aching....but I know yours is too. I pray God would heal that hurt. I love you.
