At an Airport Gate...

Today...I was heading to the airport...my little sister is leaving two days before I do. I was sitting in the back, looking around me through a window, cars movings fast, people walking fast, traffic everywhere, some people smiling some with no expression at all, when the car stopped in the traffic light some with their faces full of stress and problems that show through their faces. When we were getting closer to the airport I started looking up at the sky thinking that sun thats bright is the sun that many people on this side of the world are looking at. we are so far away yet covered by the same sky, the same sun brightening our faces, and the same moon building our shadows.
I got out of the car, and now for security reasons the only one who could go in the airport was my little sister and my dad. I said bye to my sister right there in the door, so I stood there waiting for my dad about one hour...while I was there a lot of people came and go, some were surprised that they couldnt go in to say goodbye to their relatives and they had to do it right there in that door...but, right there in that big gate, I saw tears, laughters, hope, Love. There was this family it was a huge family and they were saying bye to their son it seemed to be, and the boy was out of control cyring, and it seemed to be his grandfather who gave him the last hug and said something to his ear while they were hugging the boy suddenly starts laughing and smiling wipes away his tears and enters the gate with all his luggage, And I thought its so hard sometimes to say goodbye, to let go of that place and things you are always hanging to, and honestly you will always hang on to them.
The world keeps turning, the sun goes down and one more day, the moon brightens our night and then one more night, humans keep changing the course of this life, airports used to be secure now they are not, and so it will keep changing, the world will keep turning, we might lose something we used to have, we might lose someone we used to have, we might have to say goodbye to those people who make our lives complete.
But, standing there looking at all those true emotions, you know it really doesnt matter who is around you when you're there in that gate about to say goodbye, all the family was crying tough men, and women, little kids, grandma's and grandpa's.
Everything will change in life...
one thing we can make eternal is love.
Our Eternal Love...the love we cant really explain of that INFINITE being...the one that gave us life, and shows us everyday a glance of heaven.... even at an airport gate. the one that shows us everyday that miracles do exist. the one that shows us love in the simplest and purest form.

Tomorrow its my turn to enter that gate..and leave my dad...
but, I have that HOPE, that only HE the all knowing, the all powerful, the one who brought my dad and me together at the first place can give.

Spoken so purely from the heart. Thank you for sharing what the eyes of your heart have seen. One thing we can count on is that life is ever changing. Sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse - or so we think until we look a little deeper. Thank you for blessing my day!!!!
