    Love this! Makes me think of my dad coming home June 1968 after my grandfather, his father, died.
    We met him at Stapeton Airport. We were just as happy to see him then as these little girls were seeing their parents. I will never forget that feeling.

    While I do think this is sweet, it’s also kind of strange: for a little person to suddenly have a parent who’s been gone indefinitely(a child’s understanding of time) and to have to deal with all the feelings that accompany that, to have them just appear and in your class room no less with all your peers.. to feel all those emotions flooding you, not really understanding what’s happening, not to mention sort of setting her up for when her mother has to leave again and her always wondering if mom’s gonna appears back at school “like last time” and how that would effect her productivity in the long term. Idk.. to me it just seems like a really tender moment that would’ve been more appropriate to experience in the comfort of home, where she can cry and feel the range of emotions away from teacher and classmates asking why she’s crying and even better if she could’ve know ahead of time that mom was coming home.
    It’s a bit like a parent to who missed Christmas just showing up in your class with all your presents.. like, right sentiment, wrong setting and timing. Ultimately glad for her though.

      I understood why. I just missed my dad so much. We got tape recordings and letters from Daddy. We didn't have the internet and cellphones then. Nobody cared about our feelings. But it was the hard not knowing if or when, he was coming home.
