Holiday Season

How sweet it was to feel your touch. Scent of your skin I missed as much. From far across the world you came. Alas, you had to leave again. Treasured memories made to keep. Return to me as fast I sleep. Come home again my loving child. Eire's coast by the Atlantic wild. 07/01/2020 For LAY It On Me - 8x8 Poetry Contest Sponsor charles messina

Such a wonderful poem, Jean. It's always heartbreaking when our children leave for a while. But at the same time, it's a wonderful blessing when they return! Hope the wedding goes well! Congratulations on your win. Hugs Charlie

Charlie, I'm thrilled to be among the number ones. Fingers crossed for the wedding but meanwhile I will definitely fly west to to visit those other two who flew the nest.

All three Jan, and the eldest, who lives in Bristol, brought an engagement ring! Big excitement here trying on wedding dresses while sipping bubbles over the festive season. The younger two flew back to Vancouver today. They return in November for the wedding, but I plan to visit them in August. If all goes to plan, then indeed it should be a happy new year. Wishing the same to you and yours.
