Reunions

Tonight as I arrived home from work I witnessed something special. I was exiting security on my way to the Metrolink along with a crowd of passengers, when the young lady in front of me threw her arms up and ran towards what appeared to be her parents. "Welcome home," her mother exclaimed.

I wonder how many times scenes like these play out in airports across the world. How many grandchildren have run out of security to leap into their grandparents' arms? How many service men and women have come home to their loved ones? How many happy reunions does aviation make possible?

The best part: I get to be a part of making these moments happen.
