As most of you know Jerome
and I have embarked on a long distance relationship due to my current post in
India. This is a bit of a challenge but the distance is what we make it. This
morning my inbox greeted be with a response to an email from Jerome. It made my
heart soar and I couldn't resist sharing our honest "prose" with you.
This is the format which
we use to correspond back and forth. My original is in coral, and his responses
are in black.

Drifting
Chasing
Dreaming of
Saturday morning...cold. Back porch with animals.
Fall
evenings with beers and friends. Football.
Seeing Monday mornings...
with hopes and dreams. Puppies shaking of their sleep and kissing us good
morning. Your face being the first thing I see to start my day.
Blessed.
Scarves and
coats. New places and etsy shopping.
Coffee brewing and Real
Simple pages creased and dog eared with music playing in the background.
Smell of
butternut squash roasting....
Bacon and pancakes because
we feel like being silly and laughter fills our mouths as we laugh about so
many things...
Trees giving
color.
The sun giving energy and
desire.
Drifting in
and out.
Focusing in and forward to
what's next...
Waking to
the reality of India. A magnificent animal that unfortunately is being used and
abused. Perhaps it will fight back...
Walking through the
reality of a broken world. A beautiful creation and people who have been
distracted into absenteeism. We will fight for it...
Sounds of
mom and dad laughing next to a bonfire while I lay wrapped in dad's pineneedle
scented coat. Memories push to future.
Thoughts of my Dad
lighting up a smoke and talking about what the day would bring and putting hand
to plow.... Memories push to future.
Your
Daydreaming wife who feels so disconnected from home,
Your daydreaming husband
who strives to feel so connected to God, and as such connected to home....
connected to you.
