The captain’s voice crackled through the plane’s announcement system.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We will be
landing shortly at our destination. Please fasten your seat belts and ensure
that your tray tables and seatbacks are in their upright and locked
positions.”
The percussive sound of a hundred seat belts clicked through the cabin as
we passengers prepared for landing. I was just another clicker, securing my
own seat belt, but I held my breath. I have never liked this part of a flight.
The descent has always made my stomach churn. Besides, I was not coming
back in happy circumstances.
In fact, these circumstances were the unhappiest.
I decided to look out of the window. The southern landscape unfurled
beneath us, somehow both dry and wet at the same time, endless yellow
fields, then great patches of green forest, a patchwork quilt of gold and
green. Beyond there, wider expanses of rough, parched terrain rose up to
the mountains. This land had a spare beauty that suddenly became dramatic.
From above, I saw the meandering river that would go nearly dry in the
next months as the summer heat finally took hold. It was already hot by that
time of year, but the sun had not yet baked us dry.
Tiny townships dotted the landscape, clusters of houses and buildings
standing out against the backdrop of sudden farmed greenery, but then
began to give way to the fringes of the city in which I grew up.
This was an America that I had long ago left behind but to which I now
had to return.
With my stomach in my mouth, nervous as the plane tipped forward, I
watched as we flew down low over the city, heading down to its little
airport.
This place was not quite small-town America, but it was full of what that
phrase meant. It had once been part of my everyday life, but that was a long
time ago. So much had changed. I had changed. And now, a tragedy was
bringing me back.
As the plane banked gently to the left, I felt a surge of adrenaline. The
ground below loomed closer as we came closer to the airport buildings and
descended to the runway. I shut my eyes and gripped my hands to the seat.
And then, with a gentle thud that made me gasp a little, the wheels of the
plane touched down on the asphalt. You couldn’t quite hear a collective sigh
of relief from the passengers. Somewhere behind me, a small group of
tourists – Spanish, I thought – burst into applause, but no one else joined
them.
So, finally, we were on the ground, safe and sound. I let my breath go. We
had made it, and I had made it back to the place where it all began for me.
