This is not a story.
Due to pressing needs, I was away in India for about an year plus with my kids, us having to be away from my husband who had to stay back in the US in the meantime. After our stint there we were traveling back via the Europe. It was a clear bright day and the views over the various landscapes throughout the journey were amazing. Especially Lake Geneva was breathtaking. My kids were imagining all kinds of cloud shapes and seemed to be having fun. Finally we got to the US. My husband of course was right there to receive us. The kids were very tired. We got home to CT, and on the way back saw some snow on the ground though it was April already. Again a beautiful drive as we drove back home and the kids were very excited to see snow again.
The next morning at breakfast, I asked my kids casually, 'What's the best part of the journey that you liked the most, what's the best thing that you saw?'.
My son's answer blew me away. The then 8 yr old taught me something that day. His eyes shining despite the jetlag, he said "The most beautiful thing I saw was Daddy's face"
