One evening we all hustled into the car to drive to a Christmas party at the home of family friends。 We were a little behind schedule because my mom; sister; and I had gotten home late after spending a long day writing checks; signing charge slips; and bringing hysterical grins of joy to the faces of local merchants at a nearby mall。
My mom looked across the front seat at my dad and said; “Whew! What a busy day!I feel like I haven’t seen you in a week!”

At the speed we were traveling; we hit the next red light in no time。 And sure enough; holding hands across the front seat; my parents turned and gazed into each other’s eyes。 “Hi;” my mom said。 “Hi;” my dad said warmly back。
Then the light changed; the gas pedal hit the floor; and the race was on again。 Nothing had changed; and yet everything had changed。 Most of all; I was silently moved by what I had witnessed: a small harbor of reconnection in a raging hurricane of activity and distraction。
