The news said it was a zoo there friday and lost of people never left the airport hoping to get out first even though they ran busses out to get people to take them to hotels.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629552175365293914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229767.post-88580393617716086952006-12-24T12:35:00.000-07:002006-12-24T12:35:00.000-07:00Potato print, That's exactly how I feel.

You are right a...Thanks so much for the hug Cathy. You are right about my son's love sitting over me, I can feel it. As much as I will miss him not being here, I am relieved that he won't be trying to get to the airport on roads that are barely passable. I am relieved that he won’t have to wait in line for hours in an airport where nearly 5,000 people have been stranded for several days, and I am relieved that he has two very dear friends living in the apartment above him to spend Christmas with.<br /><br />In the dear words of my son, who I last spoke to very early this morning, "at least some stranded traveler can use my seat on the plane to go home for Christmas, mom". Just seeing those words on the screen made my eyes fill with tears. He’s such a wonderful young man. I was feeling absolutely wretched because I won’t see him for Christmas and he was (as always) thinking of others. <br /><br />Now I have to concentrate on “enjoying Christmas”, as my son begged me to do at 3:00 this morning. <br /><br />I’m still working on that, son, but I’ll give it my best shot.<br /><br />**Disclaimer: if this makes little or no sense, please keep in mind that I’ve had approximately six hours of sleep (total) in the last 60+ hours.dmmgmfmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872482306885344135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229767.post-11080982486700758242006-12-22T06:16:00.000-07:002006-12-22T06:16:00.000-07:00Oh, Laurie - I am truly sorry.

How did you find that incredibly appropriate picture? <br />Well, your son's love will be sifting over you during Christmas and that will sustain you till you can wrap your arms around him in January.<br />Meanwhile - a Christmas hug from me,<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548755592157386484noreply@blogger.com
