Friends and family are spread across this world of ours.
Son in San Francisco, then moved to Florida. Daughter in St Louis. Friends in New York and New Orleans.
Mother and sister in Zimbabwe. Mother-in-law in South Africa. Brothers-in-law in Sierra Leone and Ghana. Niece in Spain. Aunt in England. Cousins in Canada and Scotland.
Conferences in Australia, China, France. And so the list goes on.
When an extended family is as far-flung as ours we need those wonderful wings. When you have almost more work commitments than you can cope with, travel time becomes more and more an issue. Can you imagine sailing on a boat to all those places? The time involved would be totally impossible.
So thank goodness for airlines, and particularly for those that fly directly from our small university town.
Those Wonderful Wings
