Being apart.
Distance.
Maybe it was growing up on this side of the Irish sea while the rest of my family were on the other.
When I think of September my heart literally aches. For that is the month when the love of my life leaves for college.
This is going to be a year of looking beyond the week to the weekend. When he comes home. To me.
Of looking beyond the term. When he comes home. To me
Of looking beyond another term. When he comes home for the summer. To me and three whole months of never being apart.
This is going to be a year of looking beyond the moments of being apart.
Looking beyond the distance.
To the moments of being together.
And by His grace we'll make it beyond this year, stronger than before.
Stopping by from 5 minute friday with Lisa Jo!
ReplyDeleteYour marriage will be stronger i'm sure. Look to Jesus while you are waiting for the beyond. I will say a prayer that He will help you through:)
I'm not too far away from this stage of life. I look forward to it, to see how they'll grow, but dread it at the same time. Thank you for sharing your heart.
ReplyDeleteoh ... may the separation and distance serve only to draw you closer and closer to the Lover of your soul. And yes, those separations can make you stronger. 40 years later, I remember those well!
