It is the sa...Wow...as Nadine says heart-wrenching. It is the sad tale of so many mothers, wives, brothers, sisters, fathers. You've captured the emotion well, I think. The photo is perfect.<br /><br />My partner lost his eldest brother, his mom's first born at age 19 in Vietnam. My partner still cries when he recalls the day Army personnel came to the door to tell his mom the news about her son. My partner cries because he can hear his mother wail...the pain in her voice, emanating from her soul was heard and felt. At the time my partner was 8 years old and playing in the back yard with his younger siblings. Their mom was in the house.<br /><br />I want to share this with him...not sure I will.<br /><br />-HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2310182421024668428.post-89737461873518431632011-06-16T18:35:54.316+05:302011-06-16T18:35:54.316+05:30This is beautiful!

Old Woman in the Moon showed such emotional memory and it will surely kindle some in the minds of readers too. Could Have Been seems so true as at times we instead of saying out our feeling hide those in awe of the person we love. This one is so realistic and sad too. <br /><br />Take careJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896075408610203350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2310182421024668428.post-39805058089629494932011-06-12T19:23:48.252+05:302011-06-12T19:23:48.252+05:30A well written painful poem of the loss of a mothe...A well written painful poem of the loss of a mother.
