Stop All Of This And Come Back

I Sure Wish You'd Just Stop
All Of This And Come Back
It's Been Long Enough
Your Point's Been Made
It's Been Too Tough
Without A Full Pack

I've heard this quote said many times in our groups, "I wish they'd stop all of this and come back". It can seem like a dream, a surreal experience after a few weeks wherein we keep expecting them to just show up. Maybe they were just on holiday. The hardship of forever is unbearable. Let's allow ourselves to feel the pain of that hardship while taking care of ourselves during this time.

But just for today, let's think of how wonderful that experience would be if they were to just wander home like nothing was the matter and rejoin us by the fire.

Join us if you'd like to share your memory with others today. If you can't, write about your memory or share it someone you love.

#WeeklyMemoryPrompt

If your pet was just on holiday all this time, what would they be doing? What would they be eating? Who would they be playing with? Let's spend a few minutes thinking of a wonderful vacation for them, perhaps a time when we were there too. Then write.
