Your story is heartbreaking and beautiful. I thought it was fiction until I read further and then looked at the tags. You tell this story with such grace and tenderness that I felt every word. I admire the love and strength that held your family together despite the separation. Thank you for sharing. Adieu, Charles. It's inspiring to read a glimpse of your story. 🌹
Thank you, dear @kemmyb, for reading with such sensitivity. It could have been written like a story, but that didn't seem right.
I'm at the season in life when I look back. Let go of those things that don't matter and treasure those things that do.
Sharing this with you, and others I 'know' gives the memory greater value. Thank you.
