And, at such a time, for a few of us there will always be a tugging at the heart-knowing a precious moment had gone and we not there. We can ask and ask but we can't have again what once seemed ours for ever-the way things looked, that church alone in the fields, a bed on belfry floor, a remembered voice, a loved face. They've gone and you can only wait for the pain to pass.
When you've had one call after another and your little one is tugging on your shirt, remember what really matters.

We find it more and more difficult to achieve a sense of continuity, permanence, or connection with the world around us. Relationships with others are notably fragile; goods are made to be used up and discarded; reality is experienced as an unstable environment of flickering images.
