Interesting juxtaposition of our modern way of saying goodbye (FaceBook et al available) and Catherine's experience. I have thought many times about ancestors who left Europe knowing they would likely not see family again. And that continues today for so many who are not advantaged and leave home to improve their lives
Such beautiful and vivid writing - and I love the way putting the past and the present together helps us to feel each of them more.

This is lovely, Leah.
