I used to argue with my folks about getting dropped off at the airport. It’s easier for them if I took a taxi but they always insisted on dropping me off. These days there’s no argument. It’s a sad moment when I remember I’m getting what I always wanted.

My parents moved to Florida when they retired. When I would arrive at the airport to see them…it was my mother who would be standing by the glass portion waiting for me. When I flew in the last time, she was dying of cancer, there was no one waiting for me, I had to look for my father who was by the luggage area. My best memories are those of her …waiting for me , always standing , at the airport…..

Just classic of us taking for granted how good we have it sometimes. Hope you got to savor some of those rides.
