Maybe Elmer's Glue Could Hold Me Together

I feel torn apart.

How in the world can I feel so much happiness while feeling ripped in two? One of my best friends is having extremely bad health problems and my other best friend was finally able to return to the U.S. after being forced to leave a few years ago. I am so ecstatic to see her and her children again that I can barely sleep at night. However, the pain I know my other friend is experiencing also plays its part in keeping me awake.

For the past couple years, all I've wished for is to be in a room with the two of them again. I started to lose hope it would happen and that we had already spent our time together as friends, but that ray of hope is beginning to shine again. I've never met anyone like those two women. They're the only people who actually understand me and love me in spite of my idiosyncrasies, bad habits and occasional attitude. They know where I'm coming from and can relate.

You know you're really missing someone when you're constantly having dreams about him or her. I never have much of a plan but I'm going to figure out a way to visit them--both are residing in Texas. They have brought so much joy into my life.

I keep praying to God the He watches over one of them continually--healing her--while I also thank Him for bringing the other and her children back to the States safely.

This is all I can update for now because it's all that's been on my mind.
