I feel you. I know a man going off to war from a daughter's perspective and cannot even imagine it from yours and my Mom's. Difficult is an understatement. Your write empresses lonlinesses' feel into the reader as they absorb perfect imagery. Tears swelled in my chest ... CayCay

Thank you, CayCay. Yes, those times of separation are difficult. I appreciate your supportive comment. Hugs, Sandra
