daughter & mother reunited after 16 yrs?

Short story, is that a 18yr old girl will soon be meeting her biological mother. Neither have had any type of contact in about 16 yrs. The daughter has no memory nor knew about her mom till her 18yo birthday. They have just contacted each by phone, and sent some emails.

Basically, the question was raised on what should they bring to the first time meeting at the airport? Perhaps, flowers?

Baggage claim area is just not the best place to have 2 crying women.

Update:

The 2 have talked and so know of the basics on the why, etc. I am sure that that there was far more discussions later.

The question, is what would be appropiate as a greeting gesture.

(either from the daughter or the mother)

    do no longer rigidity the story on her, she won't be waiting. tell her sweetly which you will gladly answere any questions she has. She won't see the certainty stunning now, she won't be waiting for the devastation. She has maximum in all probability had a coarse formative years (enormously with this guy who ended up in reformatory). She does desire time to determine issues out. you in straight forward terms might desire to be there for her while she desires you. the money difficulty is a controversy, regardless of the undeniable fact that that's hers and her option to do with it what she needs. If that's a decision that seems to be a mistake, then that's a mistake that she is going to might desire to earnings from. existence isn't ordinary now and back, and now and back it does take time to recover from issues. yet once you're taking the "stunning" steps, no count how long they take or how no longer ordinary they're on some, then there no regrets interior the long-term. permit her understand which you like her and which you're there for her. do no longer attempt and clarify your self except she asks for a proof. coach her which you're actually not the undesirable guy, coach it to her by making use of beginning to coach how happy you're that she is back on your existence. she would be able to finally desire to appreciate your element. And while she does, do no longer in straight forward terms tell her the nightmare, tell her the happiness too. She desires to get well too. provide her her very own time.
