Distance

Beautiful Sister resides so far away.

Brave Brother plans his move to another country.

Lovely Offspring the First packs to leave for college.

She awaits news regarding Cherished Friend's possible relocation.

In the long hours Beloved Husband spends at work, she hears echoes of the three years before they were married that she and he were hundreds of miles apart.

Sometimes, she suspects that she may have been destined to spend much of her life at a distance from those whom she cares about the most.

Nevertheless, in the words of Hans Nouwen regarding love: 
...the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged.
