I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time with tears rolling down my face whenever I open my Substack application, it wasn’t what I expected when I joined but damn it feels good to know that it’s OK!

Jo you always always get me! Somehow! And this…. When I haven’t seen my daughter (and won’t) in months… oh my heart!

Love love love… ♥️x

Oh Susie. Thank you. I am so glad it resonated, although not wanting to bring on pain for anyone, it can help when stories are shared. Separation is so hard. Crying helps. Crying means we have an open heart. Our nature walks are one of the tonics to help us back to smiles. Much Love. xx ❤️

Oh so beautiful Jo! It must feel so special to be seen by your daughter! What a gift to have that kind of relationship and support. They grow up so fast. 18 summers is not a long time. It only gets better! Thanks for this. Was a gift to read. 🙏❤️

Emily, I am so glad you found joy in this piece and had your heart filled. That is all and everything I can ask for with my writing. Whist not trying to achieve an end result, I know if I write from my heart it sparks something. As it does with all of us here. Have a beautiful weekend. Thank you for being here. 💛
