So he has left.
My baby, my boy, has gone from being carried in a backpack… to wearing one.
He is doing World Challenge, which means he spends four weeks in India – in the hill country – trekking.
He does a community project at a local school.
And he gets a bit of R&R… maybe going to see the Taj Mahal.
He has his passport, his walking stick, some cash, my sleeping bag and some groovy “wilderness wear” clothes.
He is on an adventure and my heart goes with him.

Oh my goodness CB – you are one brave mumma!!! What an adventure for him. No doubt he’ll come back a changed person.
Woahhh! How exciting!!

Even I’m too scared to go to India! Well, alone as a female. He’s a boy and he’s with a group, it’s different!
And, I have heard very good things about India, I just need to find myself a boyfriend before I go, haha (yeah, not much of a feminist, me
All the best to him, and look forward to hearing more about it!
What a lovely family portrait! My heart goes out to you – my daughter went travelling 9 years ago – and there are many worrying moments ahead for you – but a million exciting experiences for him. I’m sure he will have a wonderful time.
Gosh, you must be so proud. Nervous, but proud
How exciting and what a great photo of the family. Wishing him many adventures and safe travels.
How excitement! How ‘nervous’ are you?! He’s such a lucky young fella – on more than one account I’m thinking… you and yours must have done a good job CB… good on ya! He’s going to have a great time and see some mind-blowing things – good on him!
MY God you look the same in each pic!
I hate you.
What a wonderful experience for him.
It’s a scary moment when your firstborn leaves home alone for the first time. You may think now that you’re not at all worried, but the relief you feel when he’s safely home again will tell you different. I hope he has a wonderful time.
I want to cry and smile at the same time..cry because I am a mum and feel that “mum heart tug” when you realise your baby has grown up and smile because you have done such a wonderful job of bringing a lovely young adult into society..a mum kind of smile that couteracts the heart tug with a heart burst of pride that only mums can understand.
