I wonder how we can feel connected to those we know aren’t…

“I wonder how we can feel connected to those we know aren’t going to stay.. I wonder how this sense of belonging finds a secret, silent way to our hearts even without our own approval..

““I wonder how we can feel connected to those we know aren’t going to stay.. I wonder how this sense of belonging finds a secret, silent way to our hearts even without our own approval.. Feeling overly responsible for them, though we know that prayers are the most we can offer as a kind of help, hoping it might kill this feeling of being worried about them as long as they’re out of reach.. Many questions are raised whether these feelings are normal or it’s just me!””
