I first notice the beachy of the tiny airport. It was so small you couldn’t even fit one plane in the terminal. My mom, Gunner, and I headed over to the baggage claim . While my dad went to go rent a Ford Fusion. I was standing around awkwardly twiddling my thumbs since my mom and brother didn’t need any help.
So many emotions piled up in my head, and my mind could not process anything. The fact that I was going to miss my family kept escaping from my mind.
