I just got back from the airport.

[KitchenWitch]

The only thing keeping me from curling up into a little ball for the rest of the month is my daughter, and how much she needs me.

[billyskank]

1. I don't know what's going on

but :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

2. My son was visiting for the holiday and now he has gone back to Minnesota

:hug:

:cry:

[billyskank]

3. ..

[Parche]

8. SNA?

:shrug: :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

9. Yes, SNA

Thankfully.

Not sure I would have been able to hold it together long enough to drive back from LAX.

[Parche]

11. NW 153 SNA-MSP?

:shrug: :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

13. jebus, you are scary.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Are you an ATC guy, an airport ops guy, a dispatcher, or what?

[KitchenWitch]

18. And the more important question - will my son be walking by the Larry Craig memorial shitter

when he lands?

:rofl:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. Actually, he probably will.

If you can get him on a cell phone after he lands, tell him to go to the central area of the airport where most of the shops and restaurants are, and look for the Aviator Snoopy statue. It's about 10 yards from the statue. Have him take a cell phone pic if he can.

[KitchenWitch]

24. *snerk*

Will do!

Although, he is 16 years old. He may be too embarrassed to take a picture of a door to the john.

:rofl:

[Parche]

29. If He Likes To Tap Dance...

:rofl: :hi:

[Parche]

28. Me

I sell Travel...:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

16. NOW my hair just stood up on end!

:rofl:

But since there are only 10 gates at SNA and only one of them is an NWA gate, that one was fairly easy to peg.

:hi:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. You can track that flight all the way to its destination, here:

Looks like it's right over Colorado now.

[KitchenWitch]

21. Oh for COOL!

:yourock:

Thanks.

[Parche]

[KitchenWitch]

6. It is okay.

:hug:

This wound just keeps getting ripped open again and again.

[SPKrazy]

5. oh KW,

:hug: :hug: :hug: I can only imagine

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

7. I know you can!

:hug:

Thanks.

[lost-in-nj]

10. I'm sorry

I can give you a virtual hug




lost

[KitchenWitch]

12. Thank you, it means so much.

:hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. You're the same height as me

That would not be a "little" ball. :P



:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

19. True!

And I probably outweigh you by about 25-30 pounds.

:hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. I can think of no response for that

that would not make me sound like a cad and a bounder. :blush:

I can't even tie it to this thread, because you've been at the airport and probably haven't seen it.



I'm screwn. x(

[KitchenWitch]

25. Meh, Yer okay!

:D

[Gonzo Gardener]

26. You're doing it right!

Take it from a person who didn't graduate HS with her class, who never got the chance to attended a senior prom, and who will never get invited to a HS class reunion...

You are committing a selfless act of love, KitchenWitch.

You deserve a great big hug!

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

27. Thank you.

My head knows that I am doing the right thing.

My heart is taking way too long to catch up.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. The eagle has landed!

Now, about that photo...

[KitchenWitch]

32. I sent a message!

Not sure if he will (he IS a teenager after all.)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. And thank the dog she does need you...

My heart hurts for you...

I cannot even imagine...


I left you a voicemail message...


:hug:

[auntAgonist]

34. I know it's hard having family so far away ...

:hug:

I hope you had a wonderful time with your son and it's not long till you see him again.
