I remember coming back from the war and seeing my wife and little girl at the airport. Your poem brought those pleasant memories back. Thank you, Kim Smiles ~ Blessings, Bill

This poem warms the heart Kim. It is very difficult for a parent to be away from their children because of missing them so much while they are growing so fast. A beautiful poem. Blessings xxoo
