I had the easiest job

I made it back to Jamaica without any problems or much excitement.

I enjoy flying..... expect for the stress of packing the luggage then worrying if it's to heavy or my carry-on is to bulky.  Or that {thing} is gonna get broken no matter how many t' shirts I stuff around it....or what if I'm the 1/2 of the 1% of people who's luggage gets lost!

 If I had to single out the person I miss the most in America, it would be hard, but I'd have to say my dad.  He's quiet and funny and easy to talk to.  I think we've gotten a lot closer as I've become an adult and moved away.  Sad that it happens that way often.

 Last Monday, Dad took me out on a date to eat Mexican.  It was great to talk with him without any interruptions.  Dad doesn't give a lot of advice or suggestions.  He just listens.  That's {special}

Dad loves little kids and he really bonded with Princess Brynlee while we were in America.  He taught Brynlee a little trick where they mimic each other and keep coughing.  When Papa told her "bye" she smiled and coughed. {special}

Dad took me to catch my plane in St. Louis.  He looked very handsome in his military fatigues.  While we were standing in line to check in, a man came up and shook dad's hand.  He said, "I just want to say thank you."  {goosebumps}

Because dad was in uniform, they let him walk me all the way to my plane.
One quick last hug.
{Fighting back tears}

I know I had the easiest job....just walking away to get on the plane.

Dad had the hard job.  Watching his first baby girl leave.

I love you so much, dad.

count your blessings
