Protecting my heart

There is that quote out there that says something like “having a child is like watching your heart walk around outside your body.”

And I’m sure that’s true.

But isn’t that true for everyone we truly love?

I think it’s because we can’t protect those we love. We see them walking around all day, and we just hold our breath – hoping that nothing bad ever happens to them. We want to divert any crisis, take on any illness for them. We want to protect our heart – and our heart is them.

I can’t really get into the specifics -VagueBlogging – it’s all the rage. It’s just that it’s not my story to tell. And it’s not a story for the interwebs. But just throw out your good juju and thoughts if you will.

A piece of my heart, that’s out there walking around outside my body, could really use it right now.
