The Countdown

Distance. Loneliness. Heartache. Pick any one of those words and what I am about to tell you can certainly pertain to any and all of them.

People love to be loved. People need people. People need people who care about them. People don't realize how important people are until they don't have the people they truly care about surrounding them. Being apart, physically, from the ones you love is possibly one of the most challenging obstacles you may ever have to face in your life.

You see, you think you've got it all worked out and that you can push past the time apart like the steady movement of a cool evening breeze - and some days you can, but other days you're quiet…and still…and calm - like the staleness of a hot, muggy morning, and you struggle to make time keep ticking. Because in that moment …time doesn't move…and all you have are your teary eyes and your sad heart. And you know that if you could just have a hug, a touch, a smile, a wink from your Love, the breeze would return and time would tick again, leaving you with hope.

45 days to go…
