Here I sit in Newark Liberty airport, waiting for my flight back to Jacksonville. Today I travel alone, an anonymous face in a sea of anonymous faces. Just another business traveler, trying her best to get home on a Friday night. Nose in the laptop, expense sheet spread before me, I will the time to pass faster so that I can get home sooner.
Flash to next week. Husband and daughter in tow. Airport club room. Chatting excitedly about sightseeing plans or playing a heated game of travel Yahtzee. Far from anonymous, I'll be called by my favorite name, "Momma."
Let our trip begin.
