LIttle Girl Lost...

I have been on "spin cycle" along with my son, not knowing about his job opportunity and when he was going to hear something. Then when he got the job, how long it would be until his Business Visa came through. Then not knowing when he was taking off for Sweden permanently.

I asked for extra days off three times after he arrived back just before Thanksgiving when his 3 month Visitor's Visa in Sweden ran out. We had nice visits, and even though we sometimes get terse with each other, there is still a lot more love.

Yesterday morning I took him to the Portland International Airport and sent him off through security.

This morning, he messaged to say he had arrived safely <3

He has now officially begun the "grown up" part of his life.... college graduate, married, new job, new country.

With my older son already over there for 4 years now, I kinda feel like my job as a mom is complete.

So now I am Little Girl Lost.

Alone. All by myself on this side of the pond.

I have been mentally preparing myself for this time, but still, it's difficult.

I praise God that He has given me a new adventure in which to put my time and energy. A prospect of making some decent money if I put myself into it, and the opportunity to travel as well!

Looking forward to the future, but still a little anxious that I have no one pinned down to be an emergency contact here to get a hold of the boys in case something happens.

Ah well.

UPDATE 2/10/2018

Son on west side of country went for visit with son in the east side.  They video messaged me to say "Hej!" <3 I guess I am still loved and not forgotten. It was early morning and I was still snoozing before I needed to get ready for work...
