Every now and again, Hope returns. At times, Hope introduces herself and stays for a lengthy visit entertaining my heart, having a glass of wine until the laughter and fermented juice begin to cloud our brains. But like all good visits with cherished friends, She must leave until another day.
Sometimes Her visits are fleeting. A quick, "Just wanted to drop in a say hello and remind you that I'm still here." These visits are, perhaps the most valuable because it is so easy to lose sight of Her when Fear and Despair are your constant companions.
So, like any annoying acquaintance, I struggle to hold those two unwanted visitors at bay and just wait .... wait until Hope returns.
