That was the text message I received from Kyle who (as of this writing) is on a short flight enroute to Bacolod with teachers and 2 sections in 2nd year high school. They are going on an eco-tour to complement their classroom discussions in Biology.
My sleep last night was not so restful, perhaps because I worried about this first time that 14 yo Kyle will be traveling (although with teachers and classmates) on his own. I worried whether he packed everything that he needed... toiletries, enough clothes (for all of 2 days. hehehe...), the spray-on insect repellant... or whether his cellphone was fully charged and had load... and so on.
Ugh, I'm such a worrywart like that.
I woke up ahead of the alarm this morning to make sure he did not forget the essentials. I prepared his breakfast while he got himself ready. By 645am, he was on his way to the airport.
There shouldn't be anything to worry about, this is what I keep telling myself. It may be the first but this is not going to be the only time, so I better pull myself together. Heh.
After I received his text message, I sighed and managed to text this back:
"Ok... have fun!"

Kyle and I
