No horizon too far... or too wide

Erecting walls, we created barriers. Emotional ones. Our lives become distanced from people we should be spending some love on. Because we find too many convenient excuses or reasons for the lives we lead which are so "busy".

How I wish I were closer to my neices. My nephews. My dad. My brother. My sister. But our lives have become complicated because along with the miles between us, are our jobs... our busy schedules. Our busy family lives.

My sister works her butt off, and if she has some spare time, it's for her daughters and grandbabies. Not to mention that she lives 176 miles away from me.

My brother only lives a few miles. But his job is a mailcarrier... the kids are grown... but his health is not up to par... it's prostrate problems. His daughter, my neice... I love her so much! Like a daughter of my own. At college- Warrensburg. Classes, work... Joe, my nephew... allergic to my cats. Busy with his own schedule of events. We always tell each other we will call, we will get together.

Other neices and nephews. Busy lives. School, jobs, marriage or plans to.

Love. Don't let it slip away.
