When your loved one is far away, at times they can make a phone call, and you satisfy yourself with that brief contact.  When you are no longer in communication, does that make them any less present in your life?  What if they have no phone at all?  Does that make them any less present in your life?  Not at all.  What love has brought together, no time or distance can separate.  Perhaps your mother has gone off on a new adventure with “no service.”  Does that make her any less present in your life?  Are you any less her child on this day in which you celebrate mothers?  Not at all.  Perhaps your child is enjoying a new adventure where you cannot hear their voice today.  Does that make you any less their mother?  Of course not.  Love continues, not as a pleasant concept, but as the reality that never changes.  Talk to those who are experiencing life in another form.  They are speaking to you.  Even if you do not hear their communications, you can feel them in the heart, where love reigns.  This bridge that connects you is always accessible.  Today and every day, talk to them and know.
