Wonderful. I like the first one best. Wow, just fantastic, Debbie.
ReplyDeleteParting is such sweet sorrow. Sorry your friend is leaving. I have a feeling etegami will be flying across the miles.
ReplyDeleteThese are so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice way to express your feelings!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. Dandelions do illustrate so vividly the "hole" or emptiness when someone is gone!
ReplyDeleteLovely... and sad.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful, even if they do pull my heart!
ReplyDeleteAs one ages the sound of doors closing is deafening. Your etegami are so poignant and pictorial.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are some of my favorites ever! It's so hard to have a close friend leave... & the dandelions express the sensation delicately yet powerfully.

Leah, Thank you so much for the WONderful link. I immediately shared it with a bunch of my writer/translator friends. Lafcadio Hearn is famous here in Japan, of course, but that letter showed me a side of him that I'd not been aware of before.

ReplyDeleteDebbie, these are poetic!
