Emmanuel's Visit Day 7

5:20 AM: We had to wake up really early that morning because Emmanuel's flight left at 8:00 that morning, and we needed to be there an hour early, eaten and packed. When we got to the airport, there were still a few minutes left before Emmanuel had to go through customs, which would be the last time we would see him. When it came that time, all of the bitter goodbyes and thank-yous reminded me of something I didn't need to think about in that time of sadness. I realized that I would be standing in this same spot early the next morning to pick up my mom from the airport. Two of the people that matter most in my life, my mom and Emmanuel, would miss meeting each other by less than 24 hours.
