Missing you, yes, all of you!

I stumbled upon a mess of pictures of from Maria's Big House of Hope. 

Quiet tears began to fall. Oh, I miss that house.

I miss it so much it hurts. Seriously. We're talking literal pain in my chest...or would that be my heart?

I miss those laughs, the smells, the pitter-patter of little, bare feet on the cold, hard floor.

I took another hit when I checked, "just to see," if any of the summer trips were still accepting applications.

No such luck.   

My arms feel very empty these days...
