As a parent, will we ever NOT worry about our children?
Our 35 year old son, married, business owner, and dog father to two cocker spaniels, borrowed my car so he and his wife could go to Foxwoods Casino for a concert. The casino is about an hour and a half away by way of 95 North to 395 North.
Of course I said yes, so he left his truck in our driveway and said, even though it would be late, he would come and swap vehicles. Which was good because I didn’t want to drive our truck to church!
Our New England weather this weekend includes temperatures of single digits, blowing winds, and snow squalls. Brrrr.
I went to bed and didn’t put in my earplugs thinking I would possibly hear him pull in later that night. Of course, I couldn’t, so I slept fitfully wondering if they had come back yet.
Every time I woke up, I wondered. But I didn’t want to get out of bed to check because if his truck was still there, I’d worry more!
I woke up at 6 and went downstairs where my husband was drinking his coffee. He said on one of his trips to the bathroom, when he saw the truck was gone, he was able to sleep better.
Now, if they had gone in their own vehicle and we didn’t know their coming and going, we’d have slept blissfully through the night!
