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.”
by Frederick Buechner, in Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy, and Fairy Tale : Amen to this, so very true. No matter how many miles separate my sister and I, we are tied together by our heart strings. My blog sisters live in so many various places, miles and miles away from me. But, I keep them very close in my heart, and in my thoughts, and prayers. My Momma and my big brother are both in heaven, but they are tucked away close in my heart. Thoughts of them are in my mind constantly. I carry all of you with me in my day to day life. I do not just live in this world alone, all of my dear family, and precious friends, which make my world, a better, and brighter place, are the world, that lives within the deepest part of my heart.

Tied together by our heartstrings, what a lovely feeling it is. Thanks for today's post it was great.
I feel the same way about you and my other writing sisters.
My big sister and best friend lives apart from me. My other best friend moved away and is now in Fargo...how much "Far"ther could she "go"? lol. And then there's all my new bloggy friends, my soul sisters. God's love reaches no bounds...even to the ends of the earth, He blesses us with the love of friendship. ;)

What a wonderful thought, Denise. This gives me comfort, being away from my mother and the rest of my family. But my blogger friends like you keeps me company here.
And of course, I have a new family now, my husband and his family.
What a blessed post. I hadn't even thought of all my blog friends!
