Terminal A


Today I was waiting for the arrival of a friend in Terminal A at Logan. With me waiting was a couple with a cute little baby, maybe 5 or 6 month old. They were waiting full of anticipation, checking the status monitor constantly to see if there were updates. Finally their visitors came, I am not sure if it was her parents or his, they all seemed very close. It was a very wonderful scene to watch, the grandfather held the baby first and then handed the little guy to the grandmother, because he was so overcome by his emotions, that he started crying tears of joy and could not stop. The baby’s dad just held him, while the grandmother slipped into her role so easily, like she never did anything else but rock this baby and cuddle him. It was such a touching moment to witness, it made me want to go and hug them all (no, of course I did not).
