| Start, I am glad you responded. I had an interesting experience the other day. I had the compelling urge to contact someone that I had not spoke to in about 8 years. I have been thinking of her constantly and I just had to try and reach her. On the day I called her, I found out her brother passed away recently and it was his birthday. I had no idea about either. We spoke for a long time and I shared with her that I too lost someone I care about greatly, in April. After talking a few minutes I found out that they both died in April, on the same day, the 21st. It was just very ironic. I felt so connected to her through her pain and I was so thankful that we got to talk. We have started communicating more since then, and it was truly a heartfelt moment. I took the chance and opened my heart, and it showed me how much others are in need of that. The love and support she needed was calling to me, and through my experience and grief, I reached out and we got over the distance that was lying between us. IT was overwhelming and joyful at the same time. I just wanted to share that. |
