My Heart is Aching

[~Sol]

Cades, is there a chance or a possibility of you visiting him once during that year? For me, I missed my W a great deal, she missed me too, and I made sure I called her whenever I could. When I didn't call, she would ask me why? And I would say that I did try to call, but our phone lines on my ship were down or jammed. It's hard when you have 5,000 sailors on one ship trying to call home at the same time.

Reflecting back, I wish there was some way that she and the kids would fly out to meet me at whatever port we were pulling into, but we didn't have the finances then.

But I would also be sure that your M is at a point where trust is being built, and your H is realizing what he has.
