The catching of breath

You know that feeling? The one where it feels like there's a bubble stuck in the back of your throat and your heart feels like it is pounding so hard it might leave your chest? It comes when you hear bad news, or in that moment where you don't quite know where your child is, or when your heart leaps at the thought of a loved one. You know the one I mean.

I've nearly caught my breath. Events have conspired in one way and another to maintain that bubble, and the leaping heart and all of those feelings for what must be weeks now. But I've nearly caught my breath.

Hang in there. You'll be breathing again before you know it.
