Katherine, Your words brought a tear to my eye. Still grieving the loss of my dear mother-in-law. She was – is – a saint. Your poem reminds me that the heart can draw people near, even after death. My thanks, Thom
It’s strange because in some cases apart can be freeing, giving time for reflection and self-growth and appreciation of others, and other times it’s a chasm of longing and loss. Beautifully written 🙂
