Kiddo left early this morning with Theresa. She is away for a school camp and will only be back on Friday. She was supposed to be in school at 7.30am this morning, so she woke up pretty early. She was visibly excited and though we are both a wee apprehensive, this is as good a time to “let her go” as any. Letting her go, as in being away for a few days, and not with family or relatives.
This is the first time she would be away for an extended period. When we said that to her she said she had been away before. But that was away in my sister’s house in Penang. She was with her auntie and cousins then. This time, she would be with “strangers” and she would have to be independent.
We prayed for her last night but for various reasons, I wasn’t my usual self last night. I was thinking about various issues at work, issues which have been brewing all along but in the past 3 weeks or so, came to the fore again.
So, what I thought was a week I would look forward to is turning out to be quite different. I feel strange, almost like being in rather new territories. Something is cooking, I hope.
