“Take care of yourself.”
My dad’s words rang as I watched my parents enter airport security. It felt like I had just picked them up the day before, hugging them for the first time since the pandemic.
Where did the last two weeks go?
As I walked back to the parking garage alone, I surveyed the quiet San Francisco International Airport.
It’s a special place.
Here I go from having no one to having someone.
Here I go from having someone to having no one.
Here I teleport to another world—and back.
Here contain as many emotions as I can name: joy, excitement, anticipation; sorrow, dread, fear; and everything in between.
