“Liza and Jeremy, the
twins, were asleep one calm and peaceful night. Suddenly it began to rain very hard.
Thunder rumbled until it got so loud that it woke them up. ‘Mummy, Mummy!’ they
cried out as they ran to her.” This is the beginning of The Invisible
String, a book by Patrice Karst about the connection between children and parents. She explains that people who love each other are joined by an invisible string made of love. The string can reach anywhere: deep in the ocean, high on a mountain, even
to Heaven. The string doesn’t go away when you disagree or get angry.
Love is stronger than those things, so the string will always be there. This is
a helpful book for children with separation anxiety, but it reminds us all
about the importance of nurturing the connections with those we love. Where does your string go?
