Striking...resonation and sublime each and all in a single message. Simply, profound. Like a confession in solitude when your voices discuss matters of life and death. I know of those voices. Intimately, do I recognize the words. Their sacredness.

Thank you for sharing. Its comforting to know you are not alone.

Good luck to you. Keep on writing is my suggestion.

As to the three sons, with a mother like you, worry not. On the wing are a tirade of warrior poets...better for the journey....not simply surviving but transcendent. As you, they are amongst the few. Those who enter a crucible with angst and fear while departing not fearless but courageous nevertheless.
