Facebook post from my last day, "This is my last day at Southwest Airlines. This year has been full of so many unexpected twists and turns. I am excited for my next adventure (stay tuned...), but I am sad today as I say good-bye and leave our wonderful campus. Southwest Airlines has been a harbor for me and I walked into work every day blessed to work with an amazing Team I care about deeply. Thank you to Lori Paschal Winters for taking a chance and hiring me and to the Team who has felt like family for the last four year. I will carry all the things you taught me in my heart - celebrating each other, holding true to your values, how to lead with compassion, and the importance of laughing together. Southwest Airlines, you are truly one-of-a-kind and I will remain a loyal Customer and fan. All my LUV!"
It was an emotional day saying good-bye. I cried driving to campus to pack up the last of my things and again when I said a brief good-bye to my Team on our weekly Teams call. I was so glad that we had planned a happy hour at Terry Blacks. About 15 folks came and it felt like a bit of closure since it is such a strange time to say good-bye. Southwest has been so good to me and our family. Grant says he feels like his wings have been clipped. I do too. There is no place like Southwest.
