I have you in my heart.

You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.
~Frederick Buechner

Waiting.

I am on the edge of tears. My mind is unfocused, scattered, swirling. One image is haunting my mind. I see people, lines of people. Pablo. A face among the crowd. All waiting to find out if the endless amounts of work and money and emotion sacrificed to preparing their immigration case will end in positive results. Or, was it all in vain? We shall see.
