Alaska Memories by Diannah Lynch
Memories of a special place linger long after leaving. When we arrived at the airport in Anchorage, it was 5:30 am. Our daughter and ten year old grandson picked us up at the airport. We had been enroute 12 hours and I was a little sleepy, having been wide awake the entire trip, from excitement on going to Alaska.
As I nodded off, our grandson kept helping me hold up my head up with his hand under my chin. He was so afraid I was going to miss something, he did this several times. He then had one hand under my chin and the other hand at my forehead, holding my head up most of the way home. He talked all the way home, telling me about each and every spot along the way. It is a wonderful memory.
On our first outing during the daylight hours, I had my camera in hand, ready to capture the beautiful Alaska scenery. The first mountains I saw, I was so overwhelmed that I burst into tears. Not just tears, but the sobbing-out-loud kind of tears. I was so moved I couldn't take the first shots, as both my hands were under my glasses, wiping the tears that were streaming down my face. So moved was I, that the tears were flowing so fast I didn't have time to take my glasses off to properly dry my eyes. I still tear up when I remember those moments.
Alaska is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen or ever been. We look forward to a return trip.
When God created Alaska ~ the word Amazing comes to my mind and heart.
