Expect The Unexpected

When you wake up to a text from your daughter saying, “BTW, I meant to tell you I’m going [out of the country] today. Headed to the airport now. Here’s my flight information. I’ll be gone for a few days.”

What do you do?

I mean what else can you do but say, “Safe travels”, “Have fun!”, and “I love you!”

She is almost 30.

Of course, my mind went into military mode, and I sent her the government’s travel info about the country she’s traveling to and the Embassy’s information.

Then, I said a prayer to cover her.🙏🏽

She is grown and free to explore. I just wish she would’ve chosen somewhere I was somewhat familiar with. She dances to the beat of her own drums, and I love that about her. Also, she gets it honestly, so I can’t be mad at her. It’s not like I told my mom everything beforehand. However, unlike her, the military made me a little more wiser and a bit more cautious.

As I alluded to in my earlier post, I’m letting go of things I cannot control. She’s God’s child. He’s got her.

But y’all, I wasn’t ready for that. I wasn’t going to talk her out of going, but I would’ve asked a lot of questions.🤷🏽‍♀️

I can see my life as a mom with adult children is about to take me to a whole new level of motherhood. I can already see my son is ready to test being 21. He hasn’t done anything but I can feel it. This is definitely going to be interesting!

Now, I’m smiling because we’re all grown!! Wow!! I know I started off sounding a bit weary. However, the more I write the more I feel another level of freedom coming on. Again, we’re all grown!

Okay… I’m going to end here.

I guess you can say this is my first “random rambling” on this side of 50!

Y’all, why am I so excited?!!!

Okay… Bye!✌🏽
