There are times in our life when we see the sun rise and set in one another; we trust and believe we'll always be together. Then something happens - an arument or misunderstanding , and in a sudden and swift act we choose to stay away from the person we care so much about. Hurt feelings and pride get in the way and we refuse to turn around, to reach out and embrace the one we love.
Weeks and months pass by, stretching into year after year ; Our lives move on in a daily routine of raising a family , work and new adventures with new friends. But there comes a moment when all the busyiness slows down, children are grown and a quiet stillness sets in. We begin to remember and long for the one who once was so close - who never judged or ridiculed, but always encouraged. The one we were so at ease and comfortable with; Like the one who helped heal my spirit when I was laid up month after month with a broken body, first in a hospital bed, then at home with a full body cast.
We can never go back or redo, but every once in awhile we get lucky, and the one we've been longing for is longing for us too, and we find each other again.
