Today I finished reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. It pulled me in from the first few pages. I did not see the movie, but to me a book is so much richer since the characters share their thoughts. I must admit that I hated the ending! The 13 year old who won emancipation from donating a kidney to her sister was not supposed to have died in a car accident on the way from her trial.
Life sometimes gives us curve balls, too. Just today, even though it has been a few years since my Mom went to her glory, I have found myself wanting to carry on a conversation with her about things in general. She would have told me that she was happy that I have dealt with my Type 2 Diabetes and lost over 32 lbs in the last year and 1/2. She would agree with me that Elle is one of the most precious little girls she has ever known, except she is equal to how we loved and still love Laura.
Reality calls me back, although in my mind it could still be possible. "With God, all things are possible." Who knows, maybe we did span the heavens and our thoughts found each other. I like to think that.
Here's wishing you the ability to delve beyond the probable and imagine the limitless possibilities God gives us.
