~
Though the roads still beckon
dare and call
directing my gaze onward
to the horizon
I avert my eyes
and take a step back
then another
for now it is time
for reflection
for rejoicing
with my sons
closeness of family
and friends
I am wrapping myself
in the comfort of
home

It is always great to get back home, no matter how far or how long we travel. Very glad and thrilled that I was blessed to be a part of your visit to our country and mostly to be able to hug your neck and share so many wonderful memories. I will never be the same. Love to you.

Nor will I, sweet dear Jules! The bond grew even stronger after finally meeting in San Francisco. Both our lives were changed in those three days, and I loved every minute of them! You have made this vacation o so special, you are imprinted in my heart.
Love and hugs to you,
Mar
