Too Much Of An Experience

She arrived after waiting more than six hours at the airport in Budapest. The experience she had had in this journey will be with her if not forever but for a long time in her young life.

Hubby and I made our second trip to the airport to meet her and to receive her from the escort of an Unaccompanied Minor. Her puffy eyes were the telltale of the scary experience she had.

Her journey this time was more than just a story telling. First the encounter with some pedophile on board the flight, then a male escort wanting to be more than just an escort to her, to being left unescorted with an Indian driver alone on the airline bus at the terminal, to the emergency landing at Budapest due to a technical glitch with the plane, to waiting more than six hours to be flown back here, even then that plane was delayed for more than an hour.

It was indeed too much for someone at her age to experience for a three weeks holiday. Alhamdulillah, she is back in my arms.
