I can relate and understand every word you shared. Being a Mom of 8 with 2 girls 6 & 7 I know those emotions too - very well. <br /><br />I appreciate seeing a side of man many don't show - the understanding of your wife sitting in that chair calming the fears of a child not her own - yet completely His! What a perfect picture of His love for us -always caring for us no matter what!!!<br /><br />Daddy come on back to get us - we miss you and long for the day to be with you all of the time! No more tears, pain, sorrow, sickness and laughter and joy will rule our hearts!<br /><br />Blessings to you!<br />Jill Billy,

You are a very talented writer. God bless you! <br /> I can totally relate to little Curly Sue. I so long to go home! I too feel out of sort on this planet. I too want to leave; just not leave anyone behind. <br /> God has created such a beautiful place here on this earth; I can only imagine what Heaven will hold for us. <br /> Thank you dear brother in Christ for sharing this beautiful story!<br />Many blessings,<br />Bren Billy,

A place I’ve yet to arrive, yet a place I visit more often these days.

I love your thoughts along these lines.

On another note, this piece also reminded me about a “sleep over” I attended at age 6. Like Curly Sue I longed to go home, and I did…my parents have the before/after pictures to prove it.
