Letting others adventure on their own


Today my eldest left for a week long adventure in Canada. I happily assured her that I had plenty to do and that I wouldn't be lonely. She was a little nervous about the trip but also very excited. How could I do anything but cheer her on? As her travel companions packed her up, I called to wish her well and remind her to come in and give me a hug at school before she left.

It is hard to make changes in life, letting children go out into the world and meet new people is very difficult. Though I know her father will look out for her, I admit that I will worry while she's gone. I guess a mom can't honestly help it.... even an adventurer like me...
