reunited in johannesburg!!!!!

“if it’s true, as shakespeare wrote, that “parting is such sweet sorrow,” then perhaps we could say that reuniting is the sweetest joy. while saying goodbye can be heart-wrenching at times, reconnecting with loved ones we haven’t seen in a while can be among life’s greatest moments.

for this reason, airports can be the
happiest and the saddest of places – full of
goodbyes and hellos that bring a tear to the
eye and a lump to the throat. soldiers
returning from active service are joyously
embraced. loved ones away for a season are
welcomed into open arms. and weary
travelers are almost instantly rejuvenated
by the sight of their family or friends.
it matters not if they’ve been away for a
few days or a few years… welcome-homes
are moments to cherish.

in reality, we are continually saying goodbye
and hello. and because life is short, we must
make the most of each homecoming.”

…couldn’t say anything better myself. i am one happy girl right now.
