Brendan (my 18 year old) has just left for two weeks in Bali today.
We dropped him at the airport he would not let me go in with him.
I think he didn't want his mates to see him get upset at saying bye to his mum.
He will be about half way there by now and I can't stop thinking about how he will go.
Brendan has been to Bali many times before but always with me and as this is his first big trip without his mum I am a little bit worried.
I know he will be ok but it will be hard to not know what he is up to and how he is going.
How do other parents handle their kids first trip away without them?
I will probably not get a good nights sleep until he is home again, it's bad enough when he has a night out on the town.
Oh well, he is a big boy now. He will be fine I'm sure.
Cheers
Pina
