I Won't Say Goodbye, I Will Say See You Later

Today

She had to leave her Dad at the airport to board his plane back to Brisbane, Australia. They decided it would be easier this time to drop him off outside the doors of the airport so they didn't have to see each other cry. It was so hard on both of them the last time..............

Yesterday

When she took her Dad to the airport to board his plane to Sydney, Australia in February 1988 she didn't realize it would be years before he would be back. She was eighteen years old with a baby in her arms, standing on the other side of the glass wall as she watched her Daddy walk away. She cried for him to come back but he didn't. She thought she was being abandoned at the time.

Today

She realizes that he had to do what he had to do to experience the things he had to experience to build character and become the person he is today. She had to do the same thing. She spent all these years worrying about the way she felt about it and didn't stop for even a moment to think about what it was like for her Dad to leave. She didn't even stop long enough to think about how her Mom was feeling about her Dad leaving. Now she knows.

Tomorrow

All these lessons we have to learn in life are so we can make better decisions for Tomorrow based on what we learned from Yesterday. Today I am thankful because I know more than I did Yesterday and Tomorrow I will know more.
