True happening- when my husband was in the Marines before we married.
Months of being separated by 1,600 miles between NY and SC.

We met 'neath our moon, miles apart, at the same time, sharing night's art, spooning our love with each lonely heart.

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
