Transcript
A young woman observed a memorable family reunion at a Northwest airport. A dad hurried off the plane and, with the biggest smile, found his 6-year-old son and gave him a bear hug. He then focused on his 10-year-old son and told him that he loved him! His wife handed him their baby girl who snuggled against him. With a little wink to his oldest son, he handed him his baby sister and said "I’ve saved the best for last." It was out of the corner of her eye that the young woman saw one of the most tender and passionate embracing kisses as the couple reunited. Somewhat embarrassed, she admitted how taken she was by this scene and politely asked how long he had been away. Holding his wife’s hand he said "two whole days!" Wow! She was stunned, guessing they’d been apart for weeks. As she admired this family walking away, her friend came up to her and asked, "what cha’ lookin’ at?" Envisioning her own marriage and desired family, she responded "my future!"
