Delayed, Delayed, ......


7/28/12.....Cancelled. That’s what the Atlanta airport board said for Delta Flight 929. The flight that was to carry Josh, Megan and baby safely to New York. Tonight all were suppose to be in their own beds in Brooklyn. At least that’s what they were telling 9 month old Lucy this morning as we dropped them off at the Panama City airport.
Disappointment----was my first thought for them. Yet, if air traffic control is shut down because of flooding, then certainly Atlanta is the safer place to be. My son’s comments were positive---they were heading to purchase a few necessities and get a hotel room. Lucy had been a “trooper” all day. Acceptance.
As the “mom”, I want everything to go smoothly for them. Setbacks in life can certainly be disappointing, even distressing and yet in the midst of all the frustration is where life lessons are learned. “Character building” is the term often used.
Replacement b/c travel pic was fuzzy & Lucy is in her beach travel dress---just prior to flight to Atlanta.
Their FB post was upbeat. Welcome to Atlanta, Lucy Liles.
