Writing about parents is never easy. The task is to be objective and honest, even under the best of circumstances. I think you've done that, and with very difficult material. Good writing. Jack

Now I remember the face in the pictures you have shown me of her lovely face, and remember the story behind this poem. So moving and shows that side I have come to know.

Wow Frank, wanna talk about touching souls with poetry? You touched mine... You have no idea how much I relate to this amazing piece. I am adding it to my favorites. I think you might sell yourself short when you say you envy me- you are so very talented, I hope you realize that!! Hugs, lots of them :)

awww real powerful Frank ..You know [Long Gone] might be a good title so more would read it..when ever we label our own family it limits the read and we don't want this one limited! Light & Love
