The Father Runs Before You Are Whole
The world is moving on while you stand still in the hollow of that day, and the silence of evening feels like an accusation. But there is a father who saw his son coming from a long way off—still covered in shame, still rehearsing the apology—and before the speech was finished, the father ran.
He did not wait for you to become whole before he came near. —The light does not measure the distance of your grief or the years you have spent standing still.
It sees the child who has not yet been held. —Time moves forward, but love has no timeline.
You are not behind. You are exactly where the light found you.
