Missed Connections in San Diego
Although you can’t be here physically today,
I’ll take you everywhere with me in spirit.
I feel your energy in my second wind
when I run to the top of my mountain.
I feel your courage every time I reach
for my next hold while rock climbing.
Oh how I miss the way you would hold me…
We’ve laid under many skies and dipped our toes in many springs,
but I’m afraid no memories can dull the wretched pain your absence has left me.
Until I see you again my sweet husband,
my heart will forever be yours.
– Juliet
Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:
San Diego is our missed connections featured location today. The feed is an active one and there’s a steady stream of interesting messages. This one in particular grabbed at my heart-strings – how many times does a loved one or person from our past come to mind when we are engaged in an activity reminiscent of times spent with them? Our poet sounds as sturdy as the rocks they climb but natural beauty has a way of reducing even the hardest to tears.
