Okay, now I am crying. How did I go from being irritated and bloated to crying? Because I’ve been sitting here in the Arrivals Lounge watching people greet their loved ones, and it is absolutely a priceless thing to watch. Watching that toddler toddle over to her daddy in the camouflage. Watching the handicapped child meet her grandma for the first time. Seeing a smiling teenager being greeted by every member of his family who all want to kiss him at once. It reminds me of when those miners in Chile came out of the mines, and all they wanted to do was hug their family and say “I love you.” Reminds me what really matters when all is said and done.

Turns out that being stuck here outside the security gate has actually been a blessing. Go figure. And to think I almost missed it.

Gotta go call my husband and tell him how I would like to be greeted when they come pick me up from the airport. Wonder if it’s too late to hire some extended family to come too?

See you soon, your favorite motivational speaker, or maybe just your only one.
