Hope

hope is a word that has been somewhat overused as of late, but is not a word to be taken lightly. i started to think about hope after my friend laurie left me a message saying she had been outside the other night thinking of me and praying to see a shooting star so she could make a wish- as she has done many other nights before. as she was praying a star shot across the sky and she was so excited she almost forgot to say her wish- but she did. in her message to me she stated that she could not tell me what her wish was (as we all know, it would not come true), but she wanted to let me know that this had happened. while listening to her message i started to cry as her voice was so full of hope and in turn it filled me with hope. her hope is that her wish comes true. my hope is that her wish comes true.
