I threw my arms into the air as the crowd in front of me erupted into applause. My head tilted back and I exhaled, breathlessly laughing at the absurdity that had become my life.

I was awoken by the rumbling of the plane landing. Up and down and up and down went the newspaper sitting on my lap. Up and down went my stomach. I gripped the arm rests next to me, trying to steady myself so that I wouldn't get sick. Then it slowed. The bumps decreased and the plane slowly rolled over to its gate. I sighed in exasperation. I had been dreading this moment since the day I landed in Switzerland. The day that I was so delighted to see my 3 granddaughters. It was the happiest I had felt in a long time.
