A Time For Farewells
Saying goodbye to family or friends is always a little difficult.
Saying goodbye to my first grandchild, knowing I’m unlikely to see him again for at least a year, is even more poignant.
Nine thousand miles can seem an awfully long way…

What rich emotion your daughter-in-law has captured here. How you must miss that little one.

It’s only been a week since I saw him – but that already feels far too long…

That’s a very sweet portrait. He’ll be Skypeing you before you know it.

Not on this broadband connection. I’d have the time – and need – to shave between each question and answer using my anything but high-speed provider!

That has brought a big lump to my throat. It is a lovely composition.

He is such a beautiful little boy, in both appearance and character..
