Homecoming

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

I hope you had a nice weekend. Friday night my oldest son and I waited not so patiently for my youngest son’s flight home. Delays, misinformation from the airline and just the anticipation of seeing him, were a wee bit frustrating. As you can imagine, the wait was worth it as I hadn’t seen my youngest son since the end of May. We immediately took the opportunity to get him something to eat as he hadn’t had anything all day, with three exams at school, a team meeting, packing at the last minute and the old hurry up and wait at the airport.

Nourishment for me was watching my two boys talk, laugh and tease each other again at the dinner table as if no time had passed at all. Yet there was also something different. Between the two was a sense of heightened thankfulness and appreciation that left them hanging onto every word, savoring the conversation as if it were the finest of meals. At one point, my wife just looked at me quizzically as I became quiet while observing all this. (me and quiet are not often in the same sentence) I just gave her a knowing wink and a nod letting her know I was making sure the guys got what they needed. Heck it’s what I needed too.

Thanksgiving week is here! Nothing like shoving a whole week into a few days. Let us know if we can help cover loads or run expedited to make it in time before the extended holiday weekend.
