... Parents ...

As many of my (flickr) online friends know, my parents have lived separately in their own families virtually since I was born 60 years ago, and they haven't talked ever since (!!).
My friends also might recall my deepest wish which I had for my birthday in July when I turned sixty: that my parents would meet after all this time, somewhere halfway of a distance of more than 400 Kms which separates them from each other, and also me from my mom (400 km) and my dad (120 km).
I kept my wish completely by myself, but I went to a church (no specific religion at all) and expressed my wish through my mind as strongly as I could.

Believe it or not, only 3 weeks ago my mom told me that my dad had given her a ring these days. And today, again, when I spoke to her over the phone she said she would give my dad a call later in the day.
This is so great because it finally gives me the feeling of certainty to belong to a real family.

And also, the fact that they now talk, a thing that had seemed just impossible just a few weeks ago, makes me believe even more in some sort of spirituality which we cannot grasp completely with our restricted knowledge, but which exists nontheless.
