A beautiful tribute to your parents' love. I know how hard it was for Chris and me to be apart for several months... but it's hard to imagine the heartache and longing in a separation brought on by war.

So true and I just got a taste with those three months worth of letters. Saw a side of my mother that she didn’t reveal in public. Thank yoi!

Nice! It brings back memories of my dad's letters to my mom during WWII when he was flying missions over the Middle East. I often wish I could read the letters my mom wrote back. Thanks for sharing, Anne. xoxo

Thanks Cathey. I've shared the other, but bringing it together in a poem was the last thing to do.
