A letter to my boy
From the day you were born, you were always a sweet child, a sensitive boy with a heart of gold. As I write this to you from the other side of the world, I gaze out my window with worry and the pain of not being there with you, and your brothers. An ocean apart while a global pandemic rages on...who would have thought that life would take us to this place in our lives.
