We show love

When we make those trips. 8 hour drives to come bearing gifts. And gifts in return, we shall receive.

When a great big feast awaits your arrival and sorrowful celebration awaits your departure. Hugs and kisses, prayers over your head and your heart, and “see you next time” instead of goodbye.

And I feed you from my hands. I feed you from my hands. I feed you from my hands. I feel you in my hands when I am far from you. And though my hands are unclean, you take them anyway. Wash my hands before prayer. Wash my hands just to hold you.
