I missed you!

Author and film director Michael Hargrove was at the airport one day, and at the arrival terminal while waiting for his own ride, was a man who had just arrived on the same flight. This man was welcomed by his family who were hugging each other and it was obvious that they haven’t seen each other in a while. He overheard the man say ‘I missed you little Tiffany’ to his 5 year-old daughter, and ‘I love you Timmy’, as he picked up his 3-year old toddler. Then turning to his 9-year old son Gavin, ‘and you’re becoming a man, Gavin!’ Finally he turned to his wife as he said to her ‘and of course I have to save the best for last,’ as he gave her a big kiss on her lips. Michael couldn’t resist asking the man ‘how long you’ve been married?’ ‘12 years,’ came the quick answer. ‘And how long you’ve been away from home?’ The family man looked Michael in his eyes and said simply ‘2 days!’ Hargrove recalled saying to himself ‘how I wish my marriage is as happy and strong after 12 years!’
