Ahh!! Enjoyed reading this one. I can't imagine what it was like for moms who waited at home for the safe return of their sons and some daughters or hearing of their death in the war. I know it was hard on my mother to have one to serve in north Africa during WWII. Thanks for your visit. Sara

Having read this, my image would be that of the picture. You truly bring it to life. Eve.

Nothing like a returning soldier or their mother's love!

Hi Eve, This is such a heartfelt reunion. She was overjoyed to see her dear son come home. Well done. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

Ah! The long awaited home coming. As it should be. Great job here filled with happiness. Love it and the great pic. God Bless, JB

Ah, what a lovely photo and framework, You still got all your wit about you I can see that. Sending love to you and hoping that your feeling better, so much better xo

Splendid. But give the contestants some space :) ~~

Such joyous feeling is conveyed in the few words of your poem. The picture also is evocative of irrepressible joy. A wonderful tetractys, Eve.

Eve, what a beautiful verse about the mou oh a mother? I have seen these reunions. So touching. Pangie

You discribed the relief of a mother welcoming her soldier son returning from the war, relief that he lived. Hope you're well Eve. Tom
