Velcro

"Velcro consists of two layers: a "hook" side, which is a piece of fabric covered with tiny plastic hooks, and a "loop" side, which is covered in equally tiny plastic loops. When the two sides are pressed together, the hooks catch in the loops and hold the pieces together. When the layers are separated, the Velcro strips makes a telltale ripping sound. . . .The strength of the Velcro bond depends on how well the hooks are embedded in the loops and the nature of the force pulling it apart. . . " (http://www.apparelsearch.com/definitions/Miscellaneous/velcro_definition.htm)
We are hooks, and you our friends, supporters are loops. Your gifts of time, cards, questions, money,care,pull us to you at the same time our departure pulls us apart. I have felt more connected and loved and surrounded than ever before. You are all embedded in our lives and there are telltale ripping sounds.

Hey Megan and Brian-
May God's presence be extra real to you during these hectic days. I'll be tracking and praying. And Meegs, first, thanks for the apples. Second, my journalism profs would heartily approve of your attribution in this entry. Nicely done.
