Yesterday, I took Jorden and Erin to the airport to put them on a flight to Nashville, TN in order to spend the partial summer with their Dad. They were supposed to leave near the end of June, but due to the craziness and toll that Taylor’s illness has had on everyone I felt that it was best if they went to visit him early. I have not been able to give them the care and attention they deserve. I finally had to admit this and let them be in their Grandmother’s and Father’s care. This was a very difficult decision for me to make, but one I feel that was definitely necessary. I took them to the airport to find that since they are now officially 12 (they just turned 12 April 30th) that they could no longer be accompanied by a flight attendant. Ugh, what a thing to find out the last minute. I privately went into panic mode AND I decided best not panic and let GOD handle it for the next 4 hour flight. All is well, they safely arrived!
All By Themselves!!
Sometimes…the most valuable treasures are the ones that we must let go!

I can’t wait till Nick can fly unaccompanied. He flies 4-5 times/ year by himself, and that unaccompanied minor fee sucks! I would have had the opposite reaction to ‘no flight attendant’! haha
