restored to life

Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!

O how that father must have wept.

I feel for him now.

I always have.

I always knew one of my boys would leave me.

I knew he wouldn't understand - and he'd reject my love.

He would not embrace what I loved - not even if it was his own brother, lost so long ago, and now, found again.

How could it be? His own flesh and blood.

And yet...

I have waited so long. Scanning the horizon. Hope against hope, hoping to find him.

Wondering if he'd ever come home.

Should I have gone after him?

A secret: I did.
