Wish you were here

There are events that occur in our lives in which we long for the presence of a loved one from our past. It may be a parent, a spouse, a friend, or a former partner. Our thoughts are of how it would be to share the emotions attached to these moments. We may have just received an award, reached a milestone birthday, or suffered the loss of another significant person in our lives. The presence of a loved one from the past would be a bittersweet reminder of our connectedness and the importance the person had in our life. The physical connection has been broken perhaps by death or the need for the other person to move on in life. While it may not be possible to be together physically at that moment, remember that our connection to others is never really broken. When I wish that the other person was with me, I quietly speak to them as if they were. I know that my words will be heard and responded to with what I need in the moment. When I do this I feel a sense of comfort and love. I am reminded that we are never alone. What do you wish for from a person who is absent in your life today?
