Airports are often associated with different entry and departure points of our lives. Whether it be the departure to or return from travelling, welcoming home those who are important in our lives, or saying a heart-breaking goodbye, it comes as no surprise that in each greeting or farewell, there is a story to be told.
This evening I sat and watched Sky 3's Hello, Goodbye filmed at Heathrow airport, and I am surprised at the level of impact that just watching the hour-long programme has had. As I said, so many stories to be told, some full of excitement, some with a more sobering edge addressing the issues of assylum, family loss and bereavement. The thread that seems to run through however is that there is an amazing sense of hope, even in the most desperate situations.
I don't think I will be able to look at departure gates and arrival halls in the same way again!
Sounds like you will have plenty of opportunities to do so!
