Today has been filled with periods of calm and complete anxiety for me. One minute I am so happy to be going and cannot wait to hold Maks and then the next minute I am completely stressing over Alek. I know he will be in very good hands and he will have a great time. I just worry, probably too much. You start to think of your own mortality and the "what ifs" of traveling far away from your child. Of course Kevin is calm and not stressing--thankfully. If he was, then I would be a complete mess! I guess I have had way too much time to dwell on this travel. It is much better when it is quick and fast, no time to think, like ripping off a band-aid fast. It's been almost two months since we got Mak's referral, so it has been a long time to ponder the process ahead.
I think we are organized. Just have to do the actual packing it up. Clothes are laid out, documents are in order, lists are made, Alek is set. So all's we have to do is zip up the suitcases and head on out.
Tomorrow we take the dogs to Grammom and Poppys and have some lunch down there, then it is back to finish packing and watch the Eagles, hopefully beat the pants off the Cowboys!
I am off to try and get some sleep or lay there and become even more anxious....
