Ah, the words flow well and I could sense they connected to something deep. I’m a dad, but mine are youngins’ still. Not ready yet for some of the transitions life brings along.
Enjoy it while they are young. Time certainly does fly by. She will always be my baby girl.. 🙂
Thanks, I sure am!

I can dig it been there as well. Brilliant use of Autumns emotion with personal melancholy…
Thank you. 🙂

Not spoke for a while-we’ve been journeying for a while now Writing Sofa Mrs 🙂 Still enjoying your stuff.
Thank you Andy. I’m happy to hear that! How was your summer?
Summer was good. Didn’t holiday this year-there is an economic downturn you know! But had lots of days out. And the weather was better than last Year’s washout. And now we are in my favourite half of the year.
How was yours?
Nice. The spare, full beauty in these lines are fantastic.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it 🙂
Beautiful raw emotion.
Thank you.

Absolutely. She is such a wonder to me 🙂
Parenting. There is nothing better 🙂
Cheers
