a well needed lullaby

this lullaby is for my 11 year old sister, whom i miss dearly:

monkey,

thank-you so much for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers in school. God listens to the prayers of children more than anyone else. i love that you read my blog all the time and i hope that one day the roles will reverse and you will be the world traveler that i am reading about. there's so much that you learn about yourself when you travel, life lessons that can only be taught through self-experience. 

here is a song that someone dear to me once taught me. it may help this journey of mine to be a bit easier on the both of us:

"i see the moon and the moon sees me, the moon sees the one that i long to see. so God bless the moon and God bless me and God bless the one that i long to see."

no matter where we are in the world, we share the same moon, the same stars, the same sun, the same wind. the ocean that may touch your feet may also reach mine. all of which makes us that much closer. so when you look into the night sky and the moon is glistening down on your beautiful face, i too can see that same moon, and i am thinking of you. i love you. 

miss you - xoxo
