"but you're not alone.."

i was watching Criminal Minds tonight, a favorite show of mine, and (if you know the characters) Garcia left a message on Prentiss' phone.  

This was part of the message:

"but you're not alone,

you are not alone,

we are in that dark place with you,

we are waving flashlights and calling your name.

so if you can see us then come home but if not, you stay alive.."

That brought a tear to my eye. 

It was something that I'm sure everyone who is going through a dark time longs to hear.  

I loved that she said they were in there with her, but waving flashlights and calling her name.. 

coming to find her, to rescue her, to help her.  

loving her enough to search for her.

i could go all spiritual right now, and it does cross my mind, but i want to think on the earthly level.. how important it is to be that for those we love.  

are we there in the dark with them searching for them, hoping to help them, to rescue them?

are we the home for them to come to.  

or do we wait somewhere wondering why they don't get their butt in gear and come home on their own? 

no one wants to be alone. 

dark places are scary, a flashlight is the light you long to see. 

my wish is that everyone has someone who would come to their rescue no matter what. 

oh man, i am sitting in the dark typing this and, maybe it's just the rainy late night, but thinking about this makes me want to cry.  

i don't even know if i'm making any sense, but read those lines i quoted and imagine yourself being lost, alone, without hope and hearing that said to you. 

How do you feel?
