Fifty-nine

Peggy,

    I am conducting a test of my fingers, but I know you are there.

    She has been away. We talk and text and facetime each day. It's not holding her, kissing her, feeling her warmth, skin, hair...sorry... A short learning getaway

Not good to hear you are alone, again. Here I am.     Sorry, about this part.     I look at her face every night. Remembering her voice, the feel of her skin.      You haven't said much about your family. Your younger sister was always kind to my wandering, immature, ignorant soul. I don't know that I like the word soul. I haven't found one (word) that I like, that fits, yet.
