Pieces of my heart

Hello again Friends,

Well it is fastly approaching 2 months since we have left the UK. I always knew that I had this "thing" for England and Ireland. That there was something about it that felt so familiar to me. I always chalked it up to just my obsession with it. But it wasnt until I was there, until I had actually stepped foot on the soil there, that I felt like I was finally........home. I instantly felt comfortable and at ease. It all seemed so familiar. And of course there was Dawn. I have always been a firm believer in past lives. And I knew years ago that Dawn and I had a special connection. I know that we were once linked to each other in a past life. There is no way to explain it that it will sound like I am sane to those of you who dont believe. But I knew years ago that Dawn and I were sisters in a past life. We knew so much about each other without having ever met. There was this familiar feel about her when I spoke to her on the phone. She was and is my sister.

So once Dan and I finally arrived in England I was eager to see if that feeling transpired over to my physically seeing her. When I actually saw her, when I was finally able to wrap my arms around her and hug her, would it still feel the same? Would that familiar feeling still be there? And it was. When we finally got off the plane and made our way thru imigrations and security. When I walked thru the airport and finally saw her standing there eagerly searching the crowd for my face. I knew everything I had been feeling was accurate. When she finally saw me and smiled, I felt like I was finally home. And when we finally embraced each other..... my world finally fell into place. This was my sister, this was the "thing" in my life that always felt out of place, the thing that was always just out of reach. She was the other half of me. As if I was a twin searching eagerly for her long lost sister. Once I hugged her and looked into her eyes filled with tears, I knew that I was home, the puzzle was finally complete. Everything just seemed to fall into place.

And I have to say that our husbands....... They too seemed to be a mirror image of each other. My husband who is usually a quiet and reserved man, came out of his shell. The two of them seemed to feed off each other. They were so comfortable around each other.....as if they had known each other for a lifetime! Coincidence? for me I think not. I think.......no....... I know that the four of us have been apart of each others lives before. We are family, and we go back a long long time.

On the day that we left Norwich it was as if part of my heart was being torn out. As the bus pulled away and I looked back at the two of them, and then looked at Dan. I knew he too felt what I feeling. That we were leaving a huge piece of our hearts in Norwich. But I am not in sorrow for that piece of my heart for I know that it is being well cared for. My sister has that piece of my heart and she is protecting and cherishing it until I return. When the 4 of us are together, to laugh and to enjoy all the wonders that Norwich hold for us. When we can all go out and exlpore the beautiful relics that await us.

Until that day comes I will hold them here.....in my heart where they will stay safe and remembered every day.
