While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland Oregon I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to his family.

First he moved to his younger son as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long loving hug. they separated I heard the father say “It’s so good to see you son. I missed you so much!” His son smiled somewhat shyly and replied softly “Me too Dad!” Then the man stood up gazed in the of his older son and said “You’re already quite the young man. I love you very much Zach!” They too hugged a most loving tender hug. After several he turned to his wife and declared “I’ve saved the best for last!” and to give his wife the longest most passionate kiss I ever remember .

How long have you been married?” “Almost twelve years.” he replied breaking his gaze from his lovely wife’s face. “Well then how long have you been away?” I asked. The man turned and looked at me “Two whole days.”

Hoping to stop our conversation politely and continue with my for my friend I said almost immediately “I hope my is still that passionate after twelve years!”

I was still watching that special family walk just out of sight when my friend
