Stage 1. Relief
They made it! You were concerned about the plane, turbulence. It’s April, but still you feared ice on the wings because if you worry about even the things that can’t possibly go wrong, your parents are more likely to arrive unscathed. Well, here they are, no worse for wear.

And say it once more: They are safe, I am safe, we are here. Yes.
Now. What do you see?
