No one gets left behind, remember?

She loved me coming and going, at my worst and at my best. She had a bottomless well of love for me.

Sometimes, love brings you together even as life keeps you apart.

but then she did. she died. no more visits, no more phone calls. And without even realizing it, I began to drift, as if my roots had been pulled, as if I were floating down some side branch of a river.

But they wanted you. Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be answer to your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future.

This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for.

You are not your past.
