Gratitude for Airport Heroes

Making Holidays Bright for Travelers Everywhere

Embracing the holiday spirit I hope to take a minute or two To thank all the folks making magic come true Not just Santa’s crew but the everyday faces Who keep holidays glowing in places near and far

At the airport where journeys take flight There’s a special magic shining so bright From greeters to helpers and watchers in line Thanks for being there and making chaos feel just fine

With smiles that warm like a cozy hug And helping hands that never shrug Watching and guiding making sure we’re alright In the whirlwind of travel that’s their regular day or night

Here’s to the unsung heroes with no capes on display they keep going along Just making sure things go the right way Your efforts mean a lot making journeys as smooth as they can be

So here’s a big thanks — for all that you do!

You — are what makes holidays feel special beyond compare Spreading joy making spirits anew With your kindness and warmth

I want to simply say — Thanks for brightening each traveler’s day!

I want to say a big thank you to all the people who make our holidays extra special. It’s not just Santa and his helpers, but regular folks doing their jobs every day. Lately, I’ve been lucky (?) to drive my family to and from the airport a couple of weeks in a row and despite the usual hassles, today I’m feeling incredibly grateful for everyone at SFO airport who works tirelessly to get people where they need to be. What is an occasional adventure for most people is most of their regular days — come rain or shine — and I so appreciate that for the most part, they are trying their best to make it helpful for us all — what more can we ask from anyone? From the friendly faces at the entrance to those who assist, watch over, and simply hang around, thank you all for showing up and bringing some order to the craziness of modern travel. Your hard work means a lot and I truly appreciate YOU! On that note — dear reader — I am also grateful for your support and a big THANK YOU for showing up and reading and leaving a note or two— Wishing you the brightest and most joyous holiday season! Happy holidays!

Thanks for reading.
