C'mon, you won't miss them the same way as if, say, they'd gone to live abroad and you'll never see them again. And if you don't feel that way then it means that your emotions (that expression of your soul) don't run together with what you claim is your faith. Ergo your faith is only superficial, it does not encompass the whole of your soul. > Maybe because I feel the loss for > not being able to teach and enjoy things with them for now.
