He's my only one, so it's gonna be tough when he moves out. :( Luanne G.

My kids have only taken tiny little flights with their wings (they aren't that college age quite yet), but thanks to friends and family, I'm seeing that long flight coming. I don't know if there's any way to be ready for that different kind of concern.<br />I've heard Morocco is beautiful. :)Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-67502881225297403902014-08-27T07:57:02.477-04:002014-08-27T07:57:02.477-04:00Your kids will be all right.
