I adore Facebook. I've reconnected with, not numerous, but a few old and long lost friends who really matter, and I'm a happier person for that. I'm regrowing roots. :)
The power of hand-holding, taken from the New York Times article here.
"Recently, Dr. Eells said, he and his 9-year-old daughter were caught in a downpour after her cheerleading practice. The two grabbed hands and raced off into the rain together. When they finally splashed over to the car, the damp girl turned her face to her father. “That was awesome,” she sighed."
I miss him. A lot. Incredibly. Terribly. Achingly.
She misses him too and all I want to do is scoop her up and cuddle and cradle her all day, and tell her that it's all right; that she needs to eat more again, not be sad and that we all miss him too.
And that he was so happy the last one and a half months because she was there..
"It's a long long journey
Till I know where I'm supposed to be
It's a long long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you
Many days I've spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what's my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong
I know I will falter
I know I will cry
I know you'll be standing by my side
It's a long long journey
And I need to be close to you
Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don't even know why
I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul
Will you break down these walls and pull me through
Cause it's a long long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on Calvary
Beneath those stormy skies
When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
Cause it's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you
To you..."

I'm not particularly religious, but I hear the message in this song and it makes me weep...
