Start of the farewells

Today I had to bid farewell to my all time fave guests "The Mannings."
I thought all will be fine with my emotions until I got to the lounge and saw these two very smartly dressed people.
They looked as if they were about to head off to dinner at a smart restaurant.
Mr.Manning was dressed in formal longs and Mrs.in a beautiful blue dress with jewellery too!!
Not often that I see people that smartly dressed to board the flight back to the U.K!!!!
They looked adorable.We sat in the lounge and Austen the lounge manager took a photo of us for me on my camera.
The last few minutes chatting with them was sure challenging as I could not stop thinking that was probably the last time I will see them.
I walked them to their transfer waiting to leave to the airport and Mrs. kept telling me that she will miss me and Mr.wished me all the best and rekons I deserve it.
Helping Mrs into the car broke my heart as due to her stroke she battles with the one side of her body.
I helped her get in which was a battle and I could see she was embarassed about me helping her which was much needed.She then grabbed my hand once seated and told me again that she will miss me.(I am tearing as I write this)
I could not help but think of my mum in that moment.Mr came around the vehicle,gave me a formal handshake and a kiss on each cheek and wished me well again.
By now I had the biggest lump in my throat and when I got to the office started tearing.
Nothing lasts forever and I am just grateful I had the opportunity to meet this beautiful couple.
