Separated

The empty corridor of distance stretches long and dark between us. Silence, like a deepening shadow, lengthens as no words redeem us. Time, an ancient kindly neighbor, promises a light will come; a dawn to break the bonds of night, and love, your love, to take me home.

Hello ron, yes that would be a lonely time for the both of you. You must have been counting the days for her returns. My friend, enjoy your day. /Darlene/

Hi Darlene, my wife, first of all, was working cruise medicine, I could only be with her for a few weeks at a time, contract after contract, then she was working locum tenens in another state while I was custodian of records for the practice we had closed. It was a long, lonely time for us. Your friend, Ron
