It all started when twins were due in 1968.
The Family Lunches after Church.
Vacations.
Babysitting jobs.
Camping @ Doheny Beach.

Boyfriends.
Bridesmaids.
Being “cross-town rivals.”
Bearing and bringing children In.
Injuries. Illnesses. Intense issues.
Our lives went in different Circles,
Communities, and then
Countries.
But. If there could be Reconnecting for
A moment.
An Hour.
A day.
Always picking up as if we
Never left off.
More losses have come
...And more Love.
But Mostly Hope:
There is a finish line.
And it’s ALL Gonna be good
On the other side.
From the Bible.
Book of Lamentations:
“Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. Let him sit alone in silence, for the Lord has laid it on him. Let him bury his face in the dust— there may yet be hope. Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him, and let him be filled with disgrace. For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.”
Lamentations 3:21-33 NIV https://ift.tt/2zkei7d
