Each line might represent a friendship made while travelling, a family member abroad, or an old college friend pulled away by the various forces of life. When I shared the image with others within Facebook, it resonated with many people. It’s not just a pretty picture, it’s a reaffirmation of the impact we have in connecting people, even across oceans and borders.
