A Poignant Sign

Last Monday, I said goodbye to a very good friend as she went back to her country after finishing her master's degree in America.

The airport is never a fun place ... whether you're greeting or sending off, welcoming or saying goodbye.

Funny thing, though. This friend is THE BIGGEST dog lover I have ever known. To the point where complete strangers are assaulted (in a friendly way) while walking their dogs just to get some petting time. A great way to meet people!

After parting at the security entrance and walking forlornly with another friend to the parking structure, we had quite the sight in front of us as we drove back to our normal lives, sans dog lover.

The friend and I followed this truck for a good five miles out of LAX. It was as if our dog-loving buddy was still with us, smiling from the back of the bed. The driver and I laughed and marveled at this specter.
