When I was a little girl and I lost something, I swore it'd be gone forever. It'd freak me out whether it was my favorite or not. When my mom did laundry without telling me and I had a certain shirt I wanted to wear that day, I'd say, 'Where is it?!' and she'd simply say, 'Being washed.'
So, I was thinking about this in a metaphorical sense, thinking that it's the same with people. If there's someone you want to talk to one day and they aren't around, do you freak out? Or simply say, they're being washed. Maybe God is doing something in their life that I can't be around for right now. I can't do it for them so God has to. Maybe they'll be back, and maybe they won't be. Some people are for another season or different weather.

Everything you have will someday be gone. Even if you don’t miss it now, you probably will later. So take pictures and hide them in your memories so you can recall them later after everything that is becomes everything that was. OR I know you’re hurting, even if it’s just when you’re alone and thoughts seem to rush into your head and you can’t seem to keep them from coming in. But there can be beauty in pain; Even though sometimes it’s hard to see.
