| Stuffies get delayed, too Mississauga, ON December 2025 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
She’s been everywhere, and wears her years with a certain tattered grace. I especially love the stolen glances and smiles from passing strangers when they realize a grown man has a tiny stuffie hanging off of his bag.
Most of us seem to spend most days dealing with the seriousness of life, and as I’m walking through this impossibly crowded airport, I’m surrounded by legions of frankly grumpy people dealing with any number of obvious and not-so-obvious challenges.
Yet when I stop in front of the flight status screen and hang her off her carabiner for a spontaneous photo session, a gentle-faced elderly woman wearing a knitted cap stops pushing her purple suitcase and watches quietly from the other side of the corridor. She waves when I’m done, and I wave back as I clip Po back onto the bag and continue on my way.
It’s a strange way to connect in a world that seemingly celebrates isolation. But for over half my life I’ve had a sidekick who seems to naturally make friends wherever she goes. Maybe we all need a little more Po in our lives.
