At Long Last

On Monday night i stepped on American soil again. I was giddy.

The immigration officer couldn't be friendlier. In fact, dare i say it was the most pleasant re-entry to date.

He asked me if i had "bird's nest" in my luggage. I laughed out loud.

At the end, he said, "Welcome home!"

Grinning from ear to ear, i thanked him, unable to hide delight.

I am home, indeed. It is good to be home.
