waiting

"Failing to fetch me at first, keep encouraged. 

Missing me one place, search another. I stop somewhere waiting for you."

— Walt Whitman

 There is something a little sacred and dear about anticipating the return of something you miss...
especially if that something is actually a someone and
and if that someone happens to be the one you're married to.

This week, I have been given several reminders of the fragility of life,
and while I know much better and happier things await -
I am wholeheartedly making the most of every minute I have.
