This week I was thinking about how different my life is without people who are no longer apart of my life. Either by death or circumstance, I have been separated from many people along the way. Many of them have been women who helped raise me. I've missed them a lot lately, as I wonder what things would have been like if they were still around. I really wish they were still here to encourage me and cheer me along. I'm quite sure things would have been extremely different if they were still around.
And then there's the others who aren't here because they were only for a season. I still wonder where life has taken them, if they ever achieved the goals they set out to accomplish. I smile at the memories and pray for the best, hoping that if it's God's will our paths will cross and we can share good news in passing.
As we get older, our lives become more and more like swiss cheese. As we lose people, there are more and more holes left vacant in our lives. We lose apart of ourselves in the process. But it is my prayer that God would fill the holes and keep me whole and sane in order to accomplish His will until my time comes.
