A Feeling I Need.

I remember how it felt when I sat behind the wheel of Rick's Exterra in Georgia and realized the smiling soldier was him.

Fear. Anxiety.  Love.  Excitement. My heart literally melting at the joy in his eyes. I've never felt so proud and so appreciated because of the relief across his face.

I remember the feeling... but I can't imitate it. And these days, I wish I would have let it linger longer or bottled it up so I could feel it now.

I need that feeling now.
