A Nervous Wreck!!!!
This morning at 4:30am, I dropped my mother and grandmother off to the airport. They were flying to Ft. Lauderdale to visit my uncle and his kids...but this was my grandmothers first flight. She has never, in her 71 years been on a plane and she was very nervous. She decided last year that she wanted to concur her fear of flying before she leaves this earth and this year was the year. She suffers from claustrophobia(just like me) and being in closed in places(elevators, tunnels...) is nerve wrecking and scary. Although I don't enjoy flying, I do it because there are places I want to see and in order to make it happen, I have to fly. But this morning, I was a nervous wreck. The look in her eyes when I picked her up said it all, "I'm terrified". When they got to the airport, mommy called to say that Ganny got more nervous so she gave her something to calm her down, but I just received the call and she made it!!!!!! I had a chance to speak with her and she was very emotional, being that she couldn't believe she did it, but she said she was fine and she could do it again. So, my nerves are better....I can finally get my day started now that I know they're safe in Florida and she's fine. They return on Monday, so I'm hoping that that flight goes as smooth as this one. Way to go Ganny!!!!!
