De Plane

I first posted this six years today, when my daughter Val left for Kenya to volunteer for six months. She left that time out of our small local airport where only a few planes take off each day. My husband and I were able to watch her plane until it disappeared in the sky.

Today I dropped both Val and her brother Nick off at O'Hare. A much different experience. A bit more chaotic and I never got to see their plane. I was already nearly two hours closer to home before they took off. I will miss them while they are gone.
