So...Colin really is leaving tomorrow! After years of saying that he wanted to go to Japan he's made it happen. My boy and I spent our last day together having lunch and packing and then his last Canadian supper was tacos. Ok, something's not right there! We figured that tacos might be a rare commodity in Saga, Japan.
I had my emotional hissy fit yesterday and only cried once today. The thought of my first born going away for a year is almost unfathomable to me. To not see him every day is heartwrenching for me as a mother, but I know that it'll be such a great experience..he'll meet so many people, see such great sights, eat different foods and come back a much changed man. I'm not so worried anymore...I think I'm jealous!
Bon voyage my babe! I can't wait to see the pictures and hear about your travels. I love you Colin!
This is the tale of my son's year long trip to Japan from a mother's point of view..left behind in Canada and missing her boy.
