Jena I just read it now.

It is so lovely in this departure of D and the child coming.

This is probably so often the case and in the same way, as moving. Thank you Jena.

I love the back and forth

Deeply touched.

Most poems are meant to be read aloud--thank you for the aural version.

Pacing: It's good to have a break after all the action.

After reading this chapter, I remembered something I'd always known.

[[I thought that when I moved to where I live now, I would have more calm to listen. Then life threw me multiple curve balls. Thank you for reminding me to live in all the planes.]]

Jena,

D's poem for Casey, what a lovely gift. Maddy will hold onto it until the time is right. Guarantee Casey remembers deep down his time with Uncle D.

Your writing grabs me and takes me places so quickly that it will take me quite some time to find my way back. Such diversions are rare and wonderful. Thank you Jena.

Yes, I'm so glad you get that. I can always tells when I've hit the right tone because I cry (happy tears).
