Somewhere over the rainbow...

It's not hard for me to imagine that moment someday when we will be joyfully reunited with those we have lost. I think of this scene and imagine what it would be like to be walking alone on this road and spot a figure in the distance moving toward me. I can imagine what that would be like if I suddenly realized that the figure was Dad. I can't even explain how I would feel, or how I would run to him. I know I would be blinded by my tears. I know I would feel like my knees could buckle under me, but I would somehow keep running until I was there, until I reached him. I know I wouldn't think about another thing but throwing myself at him and wrapping my arms around his neck. Wouldn't that be a dream come true? It's hard to picture that ever happening, and yet someday- somewhere over the rainbow...
