Daughter’s Love

Friends, I had an eventful day today. Stranded at the airport for over 5 hours for a 3-hour flight to San Antonio – an 8-hour ordeal. NJ weather somehow this year has turned tropical. Sudden showers, unannounced T-storms and then when you expect nothing the Sun signs bright on you. It is tropical for sure minus humid, which sure is a blessing. Today it rained till afternoon causing most of the flight delays. Nevertheless, I just landed. Time is 10 PM and since I am in the central time zone I gained an hour. 😊

But that’s not what I intend to express today. The most beautiful thing happened in the morning when I was rushing for a meeting. Well, I had a meeting to attend to before heading to the Airport. I was little pressed on time, so I thought of grabbing a banana for breakfast and run. I had my travel bag, my laptop carry on and I was all set to head out when my 8-year-old daughter pleasantly surprised me with a sandwich🥪. It was so well prepared I couldn’t believe she made it. I guess that’s what you call daughter’s love. ❤️

And with a smile on my face, love in my heart and food in my belly I left home to conquer the world.

  1. My pleasure. It was so sweet to read. Eight years is so young – to have the tenderness in her heart to make a sandwich for you – i felt so touched! Thank you. 🙂

  2. Awww…ok mixed feeling..feeling bad for you being stranded at the airport but these beautiful gestures by our kids make every problem so trivial. Hope rest of your visit goes well sans the surprise.

  3. A daughter’s love, and a happy tummy. All the right ingredients, to conquer the world! How sweet!! स्वतंत्रता दिवस मुबारक हो मेरे दोस्त!
