the terrifying fear that the person you lost has already forgotten you

You Are Being Run Toward

The sun is coming up, and the silence feels heavier than the night did. You are afraid that because they cannot speak, they have forgotten your name.

But love does not depend on a voice to remember. There is a father who saw his son while he was still a long way off — before the son could say a single word, the father was already running.

The light does not wait for you to prove you are still there. It sees you from a distance.

It knows you. The dawn is not a reminder that they are gone; it is proof that the love that held you both is still rising.

You are not forgotten; you are being run toward.

Luke, 1 John

Luke 15:20, 1 John 3:1
