Daughter is going to Cali this summer

My Daughter will be going to California this summer to go stay with her grandma. She is so excited about it and mentions what she wants to do and where she wants to go eat. It makes me happy to see her this excited.

Her trip to California will also give her a break from her brother. This year she will be 12 and she really just needs some space from her brother since they share a room right now.

So this trip I think will give her and her brother the time they need apart. Until we can afford to get a place where they have thier own rooms. I can’t wait till that day because they both deserve it.

The only thing that has me worried, is that she is flying out by herself. I know its safe and not that bad. How do I know? Because I myself have taken a flight without parents as a kid across country, but even knowing that, I am still worried.

So I told her as soon as she lands to call us. She agreed and that helped me feel a lot better.

She told me she wants to go to mochinut and also get some mangas and maybe a purse out there. Which is funny because she is like her Mom and I. We both like anima and mangas. We also really like that mochinut place. If you really like mochi. I really recommend you trying that place out.

When she is gone I hope she really just enjoys her time away from home. She is a kid and growing so fast. She is almost a teenager it’s crazy how time flys by, I wish I could slow time down.

As I get older, I’m realizing I need to be more into the present then more into the future or past. I need to live in the here and now. Otherwise I am going to miss out on whats in front of my eyes.

So as she grows, I hope she stays in the present instead of the past the future or stuck in her mind. Because we all tend to care more about what we think other people thinks about us. When we should be out of our minds and thoughts and just live in the here and now and to be in the present moment.

I feel as long as she does that she will acheive all her dreams and will feel on top of the world. She is smart, brave, kind, and will stand up for what is right. I’m happy to watch her grow and know she will grow to be a very smart, strong and wonderful woman.
