Father’s Day
Years of absence taking
their toll. Distance traveled
without regret to fulfill
a heart’s wishes becoming regret
at separation from those left behind.
Always missing them,
of course. No real concern,
other times. Phone and video.
Travel. All more than enough.
Most times. Must be the years.
This day is different.

Talked with my one today on phone. Looking forward to going in the end of October. No train this time. I fly.

Some times are harder than others. My husband didn’t get to see either of our girls yesterday either, but he’ll see them both soon. Beautiful photo!

Thank you, Merril. I’ll be north within a month, and then again at the end of summer for my daughter’s wedding. That should tide me over for a little while.
