Deployments

So I’m at the San Antonio airport waiting to go back. There’s an Air Force sergeant in a combat uniform waiting to board. His wife and daughter are waiting with him. His daughter looks like she’s about 15. She’s obviously a daddy’s girl. His wife is handling everything ok, but his daughter clings to him up to the moment he boards, crying, and then when he disappears from sight, walks away sobbing while her mom hugs her. I almost wanted to cry myself. It kind of reassured me that maybe there’s a little but of humanity left even in this jaded PL.
