Three days before launching for his mission his wife became ill. She was put in critical condition. She told him to go, and gave him the picture and said,"stay safe." Two weeks in the ships crew sent and received final communications with earth. As he came to the screen he did not see his wife, instead the nurse gave him the news that she had passed away that morning, only and hour before the transmission. Devastate he tried to carry on, but when a blown seal emptied his room of it's contents and the last peace of her he has. He suits up and leaps for it...

...Only to find there's not enough rope, and once again, he just watches as he drift's away and she disappears.

Just a space sketch I couldn't stop working on >^~^<
