Ready, Set, GO:

How do you define distance? The space between two people, the space between two places... I really had to think about this one. I remember five years and half years ago feeling a huge distance from my one and only son, at the time. I remember thinking how was I going to make it my whole life if he didn't make it with me. I remember thinking that being 45 minutes from him was too far.

Distance - it probably happens in marriages and in relationships between other people, other than spouses. How do you prevent that from happening? I guess this is one of the things that also jumps into my mind when I think of distance. I wonder how that distance occurs - who is the one that makes it happen and who is the other that keeps it going?

Distance can be easy or hard on a person - depending on where they are in life. I think of the distance from myself to my grandmother. It seems like she is pretty far away. Would it be easy to make it if something happened to her? Sure, would I miss precious moments - probably.

When I was in highschool I remember thinking I can't wait to get out of this place - and put some distance between myself and my family. It never happened. I am glad it didn't -I am not sure what I would do if I was far away from my mother at this point in my life.

AND STOP

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend with their families!
