Off to Ghana

The house is busy tonight. Cassidy is getting ready for her trip to Africa. She leaves first thing in the morning. All the last minute to do's that have to be done before the zipper can be sealed on the suitcase. It has taken me by surprise that I no longer have a child, she is a young adult and how fast life is going. When she was 5 and wanted to ride her bike to the end of the street and back I considered all the dangers. Now 16 coming 17 traveling to the other side of the earth to teach english. It is impossible to consider the dangers, it is just to overwhelming. I have to trust in her and who she has become. Her father and I have taught her all we can, she is now making decisions as an adult yet still my child. Such an exciting time for her, and a very scary time for this mother. I know she will be safe and come home with an education that can't be supplied in Canada. It is going to be a long 30 days here without her. One positive thing will be that the basement will always be clean. Safe Travels Cassidy
