Today my thoughts, prayers and memories are of people that I love so much, of people I long to be able to hold and offer comfort to, people trying to cope with the loss of a woman that we all held dear... My Aunt Georgia was a truly wonderful person who loved her family and everyone around her!
My family has always been close with family reunions each year etc - my childhood memories are filled with good times together and yet I now find myself trapped so far away from them. I never dreamed that the border between my homes would close and trap me on the wrong side in times like these, but alas, the world changed and travel is no longer an easy thing. Now there are many hoops to jump through just to be able to go home... hoops that take time and money... Neither of which is conducive to times of emergency...
So today I must be content with facebook msgs that feel empty and tears that I will shed alone. As I remember... far, far away...
