Interesting title name, hope it caught your eye. I will spend hours sometimes trying to think of the right word, that special word that will explain everything in one simple way. Whether I am writing in my journal or scribbling out poetry, the correct word is extremely important. I found this word awhile back and it became one of my favorite words to say, to feel and hold on to. maybe that sounds silly, but just like a song or a picture, one word can say it all. Saudade means: "a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves."
Ah the beauty of being understand. There ARE words that conjure every tear, every sleepless night and somehow capture the deep sadness that never leaves after someone you love so deeply is gone. I love the wistful look on my son's face in this picture. He wanted to visit the horses on the side. He didn't understand why he couldn't just squeeze through and walk across to pet their velvety noses. Much like a child, I feel the longing and wistfulness of wanting to reach past the "fence" that keeps me from those I love on the other side. There has to be others out there who feel this way sometimes. In fact I know there is, I have met several of you!<3 I hope this word gives you the comfort of being understood as it does me. Sending much love out tonight! xx
