So Keeping on Keeping on is an old expression from my youth. Definition: keep trying; keep doing what you are doing, So what has happened since the last post is myriads of Mothers telling me of similar experiences to mine. When I called my amex card to book a flight to Europe to stay with my daughter, she shared her own daughter's story. It was amazing to have yet another mother reach out to me to tell me not to worry, and to try and let go.
So funny, that at 3:30 a.m. a stranger from Spain calls to speak to Morgan. I ask who he is and why he is calling and he keeps talking about a bus to Andorra and I tell him no that I booked Paris. Then, I finally wake up enough to know, he was not speaking about me! He was calling about her.
Six weeks later, I have been to France to meet her and I have returned. And she has gone on to Brussels, Paris, Basel, Berlin, Amsterdam and who knows where else. She has mastered the rail.
I no longer worry and she no longer fears calling me to tell me she has no plan.
How lovely an idea, to have no plan.
