Departure Comments

Herbert...this was so very touching. It reminds me of my mother in alot of ways. I really felt so much emotion in this one. Nicely written!

This sounds very like my Mother Herbert. Mothers are always Mothers, however old you are! You never grow up in their eyes! Sincerely Ernestine.

I loved this right up to the last two or three stanzas. I would have kept it about you and your mother and not brought in the other...you had done such a great job painting the picture about leavetaking and later the reunion with a new bride. I had to wonder about your mother's reaction to a new bride. Thanks for sharing. Raynette

This is wonderful Herbert. I feel like you've shared such an intimate moment of your life with us, thank you. Sincerely, Mary
