It’s a shame how many of us have been taught us to fear exploring the mother and caregiver heart of God. What can be more sacred than the attuned and loving response to a child? What if we truly saw that as Godly, divine labor? I think our society might honor and support caregivers a bit more.

Every time I respond to my child’s cries, I’m offering up a prayer of sorts. A prayer that each embrace and soothing word stores up heavenly treasures, a prayer that my child may know faith, hope, and love, that will be with him long after I no longer can be.

The Missing Post Office, on the remote Japanese island of Awashima, is a repository for 60,000-plus pieces of mail from all over Japan to those with no forwarding address. Lost friends and pets; past and future selves; and, most frequently, the dead.
