back home again




walking out of airport customs to see your wife and daughter is an amazing thing. amy and sophi were standing there with a sign that said "welcome home daddy". now, i've been through lots of pick up points and have seen lots of signs for people that have never meant much to me... my guess is that most all of us have. strange how our livs can be filled with times of overlapping into others very special moments and there we are "extras". one thing that i walk away from these past few days in the Netherlands with is an extra appreciation for community. relationships pretty much make or break us. yeah i know we all know that, but walking down an airport hallway sure is different when you read the sign that says, "welcome home daddy" and your little girl and wife are the ones smiling there.

i wonder what life would be like if we really were able to live in a way that all the time we held out signs that read, "welcome home"?

i'll recap the trip...at some point. let's just say it was awesome.
