Gargi,
I was thinking about you. It has been a long time since we have connected on this site so I hope you remember me.
The first time I read a post from you, you were feeling a little sad. You and I posted back and forth many times over a one or two or three week period of tine. You were watching videos and reading articles by Brother David and you started feeling so much better. I think you came to understand that God was there for you in your life and began to feel much hope and joy as you focused on the love of God. I was remembering how full of love and kindness you were and was wondering if you still came to this site. I looked you up and remembered the two beautiful purple birds when I saw your icon.
If you get this post from me, I would love it if you would respond. I would love to reconnect with you.
Sending love to you, Gargi.
Mary

Dear Maryke,
That reminds me of the way I sometimes feel about family members.
These feelings can be especially strong in my relationship with my husband. I feel very angry with my husband sometimes as we are doing the work of rekindling our relationship after many years of growing apart. I think it is because I love him so much that I feel especially hurt and angry when we are misunderstanding each other and missing connection in our communicating. But we stick with it and work it through and then I feel the love again. And when I find my feelings of love they are very deep and strong.
I really related to what you shared Maryke.

I have a tuxedo cat too named Marvin. Tuxedo cats are great. Mistletoes is such a great name!
I think when someone cares for a person or animal that you dearly love, there is a bonding that naturally occurs. My Mom is in assisted living and several of her caregivers are good kind people who treat my Mom well. When I see this it warms my heart and feels like such a wonderful gift. They are good to my Mom, and I let them know how grateful I am.
This feels to me like a strong connection.
