This afternoon, 1614

Mom stands at the jetway entrance, waving.

"Spence!" she yells into the corridor, and her face is looser than usual, but she's smiling.

She puts the digital camera up to her face and presses the button.

She takes the camera down, holding it with one hand, and with her other hand, she signs "I love you."

Her grin keeps tears at bay.

She watches until he's gone.
