A Touching Moment

I just sent my wife off at the airport, together with our little one (we don't know if Em Be is a boy or girl yet). I decided to take a look at the arrival for any pictures of "Happy" moments for our weekly photography column, a new feature in the paper that I work for. Spotted a Caucasian family of 3, made up of the mother and 2 cute girls of about 2-4 years old. From the looks of it, I expected them to be waiting for the father, and had my attention fixed on them as they peered through the glass excitedly and hope to catch a glimpse of daddy as he collect his luggage.

Fortunately, my prediction was right, but not exact. The grandparents arrived, and the girls shouted in unison "Poppy, Poppy". THey were dancing round each other, and I can see that there is going to be hugs and kisses flying around. Poppy, held each girl up and turned 360, kissing and hugging them, and the grown-up daughter has her share of it. It was a touching moment, and I can feel their love and longing for each other's company. I stopped after I got my pics and Poppy brought out a toy horse so that the younger girl can sit on it as Poppy pull it along. Its a heart-warming moment, and I can truly feel it just by putting my camera down. Having a job that allows me to see what others could not, its worthwhile to put camera down sometimes and feel it besides recording it. I have learned that only by doing that can one allow the emotions to reveal itself in pictures.
