Departures

What a day today. This picture was taken at Heathrow Airport this morning while I was saying goodbye to my good friend. It is an emotional rollercoaster for me when visitors come. The high of the anticipation, planning and fellowship...the low of saying goodbye, the distance of an ocean and feeling alone. As I was in line with her as she checked in for her flight, I looked over and saw this door...I wanted to run through it and not stop. This picture shows how I felt at that exact moment. I needed an emergency exit from my feelings of sadness and from the low I knew was creeping in as I stood there...

All that being said...I miss her dearly already but I am doing better...and afterall, tomorrow is another day.
