My baby (who I might add will be 18 in less than 3 weeks) will be leaving his momma early tomorrow morning, hopping on a plane, and flying all the way to Boston all by his own little self.  He will have a stop over in Detroit, which is a huge, enormous city type place, and since we live in the cornfields, I was already frightened enough to have him out of the cornfields alone...but in DETROIT???  And going from allowing the boy to go from boarding a lawn tractor to a jet plane is a huge leap of faith for this poor ole mom, I'm afraid. 

What if he gets lost?  What if he misses his connecting flight?  What if the CITY PEOPLE scare him?  What if the friends who are picking him up in Boston don't find him?  What if I chew all my fingernails to the quick worrying about him?  What if I hear about a "bad plane happening" on the news while he is up there hanging in mid-air?  What if he gets homesick and wants his mommy or his doggie or his own blankie?  Will our friends take care of him as well as his own mommy does?  And what if I miss him so bad the next 4 days that I don't know what to do????  Huh????  Just who is going to keep me company and help to keep my mind off his being away and/or up there hanging in the sky in an AIRPLANE or wandering through the DETROIT airport without holding his mommy's hand? 

Oh, my, this is getting rather frightening!  Please pray that his trip will go well, and pray for this very worried mommy...
