I’m sitting at the airport about to embark on my journey to the states. I am going several places: New Jersey, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina…alone. You read that right folks… alone! I’ve got mixed feelings about this as sure it’s cool to have some time alone every once in a while and it’s a lot easier to travel by yourself than with kids, but I’m going to miss them! I think I’ve only spent just a few days away from the kids at a time and those times have been rare. This time it will be for a couple of weeks though. Drew definitely has his hands full. but he’s an awesome Dad so I know he will be just fine.

Getting to the airport was a stark contrast to my arrival here. When I got here not a single person would help me and I SO needed it. Coming here, I parked the car and took the train right into the airport. The person sitting behind me just grabbed one of my suitcases when I stood up and just started walking. So I walked with her. There was a head nod so I understood what she was doing. I tried to speak to her in English, French, and what very little dutch I know, to which she didn’t respond. I didn’t really need her help as I was managing but she seemed to really WANT to help so who am I to say no? We walked in silence for 10 minutes and she was walking fast, so I followed. When we got where we needed to go she nodded and I said thank you and she was gone. I don’t know who this masked woman was, but THANK YOU! It’s nice when you experience kindness when you least expected it. My flight will leave soon, so I’m off. I will update more later.
