Nine years was too long to be away, I know that now. The years passed so quickly.
My mother-in-law Nell, 90, is a strong woman, widowed in 1960, never remarried, never relocated, independant and not outwardly emotional. When she went for the brief, awkward embrace of Fred, her middle child, I saw tears in her eyes--which she quickly wiped away and laughed off before inviting us inside.

Oh Val,
This photo and your brief description speak so powerfully! It brought tears to my eyes, too.
Good for you & Fred to have made the trip.
