Her words were exciting to me. And scary.
“Mom. I want to study abroad this summer. I’m thinking London or Ireland.”
My mind whirled to the latest news warning Americans to be careful when traveling in Europe. My mind swirled at the idea of how much it could cost. My mind settled on, “But she’s my baaaaabeeeee and can’t travel to Europe alone!”
Fortunately, Annie explained that she would travel with a group and was already told she would most likely be 100 percent funded through her fellowship. That made me feel better.
While one side of me has my heart quietly beating at the internal volume of a heavy metal concert, on the outside I am extremely excited for her. Proud. Encouraging. Cheering her on.
But worried.
