Loving Technology

Since, at 16, the teenager is not considered an unaccompanied minor for travel on some airlines, but an adult, Mark was not able to go to the gate with him, just the security checkpoint. He made it through security fine and had some dinner while waiting for his flight. I called him on his cell about 6:45 and asked if he was okay and said he should be boarding soon, so call me when he landed. He called about 7:00 and said the flight had not started boarding and that the flight number and destination were not correct on the board of the gate where he was. The gate number was printed on his boarding pass. So, I told him to go to the counter and ask and he realized that they had changed gates. There was no announcement that he heard! I'm glad we have cellphones, and grateful that my gut (or God!) told me to call and tell him the time he should have been boarding. I also love text messaging because I got a "Luv U" text message from him before his flight took off. I'm going to miss my boy...
