The candles flicker
patiently
The smell of tuberoses permeates the air
The curtains quivers in anticipation
The mirror reflects a becoming glow
The strains of music stir cherished memories
The slight drizzle outside adds to the mood
I hope the picture that I paint
Is pretty enough to tempt you to return!

I saw a show the other day, the husband/ father is absent with our navy about 9 months of the year … they obviously love him dearly but what a cost!

Ah Kate, not just Navy, there are many such professions where husband/father stays away from home. 😔
