812-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 25,1990 Onbei a farm -And o hazar Joyce B Beyond the wide windows of plate glass, darkness was gather ing. Only a few people traversed the bright, long halls beyond this table in the airport termi nal’s coffee shop. We spoke little, ihe Fanner and I, both dealing with painful emo tions in our own private way. Con centrating on the newspaper I tried to read was difficult; tears, unbid den, blurred the print. To have spoken would have unleashed them uncontrollably. The last farewells, the last lin gering hugs were over. Our daughter and son-in-law were headed back to their home in Mos cow, Idaho; and the farm awaited our return. This parting was almost as difficult as their depar ture a year ago, newlyweds by a week, to begin their life together as students at the University of Idaho. Only once in the interim had we seen one another. Their visit at Christmas had been back to their childhood homes. Now it had been for us to enter their world, a world nearly three-thousand miles away, with new home, new friends, new envi ronment, new way of life. How swiftly our brief time together had passed, with no promise of seeing them again for a long time.

When I could again read the newspaper print, it also spoke of loved ones bidding farewell for long periods of time, children and spouses destined for other wilder ness spots - baking deserts of the Middle East. I suddenly felt very selfish, weeping for children far away getting their education, while others were headed halfway around the world to an uncertain and dangerous destination. So we will smile with our memories of this special time shared with our kids and rejoice for their happiness. Our tears...and our gratitude...and, most of all, our prayers, we offer for other far-way sons and daughters, standing for us on the front line for freedom. * ; s . i A .C I i 3f * w. * '. *> , 1 <* % *,
