As much as I love getting on a plane, flying far away and soaking in the experience of being in a radically different place, coming home is always my favorite part. There's a comforting feeling when the return flight pulls into its gate and you know who's waiting for you on the other side of the terminal, a feeling that all is right with the world, that you always have a place to return to. And, more importantly, you always have people, family, to return to.
I realize not everyone is so blessed, that some travellers return home alone. So I hug my family that much more tightly when I first see them.
Please see here for more far from home-themed imagery. New Thematic theme will go live soon.
Well said, Carmi! Family can lend meaning and supportiveness like no other.
