Airports are great places to observe people. I’m always intrigued by the sheer diversity of humanity. People come in all shapes and sizes, races and socioeconomic backgrounds.
But I think the thing that is most intriguing to me about airports are the interactions – the elderly man pushing his wife in a wheelchair, the Jr. High girl’s tearful good-bye and the toddler who’s not going to let go of Grandma’s hand. But today, my most memorable interaction was the sight of a little blonde girl and bright-eyed boy coming down the jetway to Mom and Dad. Why was that my favorite? Because today it was my kids who came home!
What’s your favorite homecoming?
