Haiku: Distance

Join the fun!
I love poetry. I just found this meme, "Sensational Haiku Wednesday" and am excited to participate :).
The basics: Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively.

This week's theme is Distance.

    Oh sending long distance {{hugs}} I let my daughter go on a volunteer trip to Ecuador, it was so hard - although it makes college 120 miles away seem better.

    There may be distance between you and your daughter, but she will be doing good things for others and for the world!
