Quote by a friend, Erin, after her previewing a chapter: "Carol, your story is deeply touching and beautifully told. What makes it so special is that it's not just about an airport pickup-it's about love, resilience, and the quiet ways life (and perhaps something greater) aligns when it matters most. At a time when both you and Tom were dealing with physical challenges and time apart, you showed up anyway. That alone carries so much meaning. As the story unfolds, there's a gentle sense of guidance in each moment-the unexpected parking space, the perfectly placed elevator, the timing of the flight. Whether one calls them "God nods" or simply moments of grace, you captured them with warmth, humor, and sincerity. Your voice is especially lovely-honest, self-aware, and inviting. Lines like "Breathe, Carol, breathe" and your quiet reflections make the reader feel as though they are right there beside you, experiencing each step. And then the ending-Tom seeing you and calling you an angel-feels both surprising and completely earned. It's a moment that reflects not just the logistics of the day going right, but the deeper truth of care, devotion, and being there for one another. There is something profoundly moving about love at this stage of life. It is not about grand gestures, but about showing up-despite discomfort, inconvenience, or hesitation. Your story honors that beautifully. It is joyful, faith-filled, and deeply human and it lingers in the best possible way...
