Wow! I mean WOW! Where did the time go! It seems like just yesterday I decided to take this trip. It's been several months, actually, and now the time is here. Tomorrow I take flight. I've made some new friends already. Fellow travelers and roommates. The excitement is palpable. My heart doesn't seem to know it's regular rythm.
My sons have both given me signals in their own way to let me know that they don't like my decision and are worried about ole Mom going so far away. I told my oldest, Jordon, that this is separation anxiety. "Welcome to parenthood! I told him" It's funny, though. I could be having anxiety about leaving them, being so far away, and what if something happens to one of THEM while I'm gone. But it hasn't crossed my mind. I have no fears for my safety or theirs. I know God is in control and He is faithful.
My youngest brother is not doing well. He is back to drinking heavily. I know there is a distinct possibility that he could pass away while I'm gone. I'm prepared for that. I've been prepared for that phone call for years. Paul helped pay for this trip and I know he's proud of my decision. Life happens while we're not looking.
I'll say TaTa for now. I'm sure you'll be hearing from me very soon!
Luv,
Kathy
