Being apart, it doesn't feel like it when I put on Daddy's t-shirt. It bridges the distance between us with sleeves that are too big. It doesn't matter -- I feel his comforting hug from this far away. When sadness comes, all I have to do is put on his shirt to know he misses me as much as I miss him.
Oh this is just sooooo right on the money.
I wish I had something of my father to remember him by, even though hes still living...Often wear the Hubby's clothing LOL. strange, the love of mankind innit sweet Karla. thanks for this.
Love Ch'erie
Like a small girl wearing her mother's dress shoes, it's just as endearing to wear her dad's oversided shirt :) I know that homesick feeling! And so I don't come across as inatentive, I had posted a comment on your Haiku...I didn't see the title before I read the poem. :o) Take care, my friend and keep on writing.
I know the feeling. I wish my dad to return and he does. He's always there when I look for him. He's still as big as Texas to me and your Dad? The last time I looked my Dad and yours were laughing.
Love,
Susan

Hmmm, I sent my son some yanky tops that fit me, he gave them to his little brother, my little boy is now not so little, I ask for his clothes..lol
When you love someone like that, wearing their clothes does bring you closer...(Andy shuts up about what his ex g/f sent) But I never wore them.....Honest.
this got me - can i say thanks for this poem when i stop crying? wow - Karla - really powerful wee poem for this reader - thank you for this story xx *blows nose* :)
In a post-coup America, an Illinois farm boy is drawn into the resistance by his brother's death. Captured, he is given a choice: betray his friends, or the girl he loves will be lobotomized.
South Baltimore serves as the backdrop for this gripping story of three brothers leading very different lives but joined forever by the secrets of a painful family past.
