Yet, this is not what He has asked of our family. He has asked for us to live far from each other. My little sister is in California, I am in Georgia, and my parents and older sister are in Texas. We are literally spread across the United States. A few years ago, Alicia was in India and I was in Korea--somehow that was easier. However, we do see each other more than we did then.
Family, know that I love you so very much and miss you. I know I don't say it all the time, but it is true. I don't know if the Lord will have us live near each other again. Know that because of the distance, I treasure our times together that much more.
I love that we all love and enjoy each other so much. I love that I look forward to our times together. It is restful and refreshing. The time flies and before I know it, it is time to return home before I am ready. This is not true of all families. Thanks for your love of me.
I really need to continue to work on picking the phone up more. Korea and then LeadTime really got me too used to NOT picking up the phone. While it had to be that way for a time--that season is over!
Thinking of you and missing you.
Daddy and his brother, Tye
