Looking to the Sky to Save Me
As he makes his way, after a ride and some kisses, he looks back once more. To catch a glimpse of his family, to remember and affirm why he does it. He looks back to catch a glimpse of my fingers leaving the steering wheel briefly, waving a sweet goodbye. To see the look of love in my eyes. The look I hope he saw. For that is the look that I saw. The look of wanting me to know that he will miss us, but that he will return soon. Through the doorway and straight back to kiss ride.

I like the photo.
My best friend’s hubby is a pilot. He flys for an Australian domestic airline and doesn’t have many overnight stays, but he still hates to be away.

That was sweet. I’m sure it gives him great reassurance to know he’ll always see you when he does that “turn around”.

Yay! So glad to have you back! Girl, it’s not going to be long before you get a book from me. You’ll have to take a photo of course. Lovely piece, excellent photography, bundles of talent, as always.
Love,
