More helpless feelings

My kid is in central Florida getting ready for what may be her first experience with a hurricane. I used to live in South FL & told her what I knew about storm prep but she's well over a thousand miles away from me, a slightly scared young woman on her own. Obviously the storm can go anywhere & may well be a non-event for her area but I'm still here getting anxious on her behalf. This part of parenting sucks.

@AlyAngel I can only imagine not being around small tykes in an event like this. They want, need Momma just like Momma wants, needs them.

Aww. Dont scare her worse. Is she in a flood zone? Does she have a plan in case of evacuation?

ineedadrink · 51-55, M

@Selah Oh I wasn't trying to scare her, just reminded her to have non-perishable food & water on hand, as much ice as she can make in the freezer, gas in the car, cash onhand. The basic common sense stuff. Her building is new and she's several stories up. Her block isn't in a flood zone so I'm hoping she will have no reason to fret.

Awwww, she'll be okay my friend. 🙏🏽 She can come hunker down with me.

@PEACH4LIFE Thank you Peaches. She does have family up in Orlando & snowbird neighbors from home not too far away. It's my Daddy Do Right wanting to make everything better springing into action here.

@ineedadrink I do understand.

Now is when you feel secure knowing you raised her to think on her feet. She’ll handle it like a champ.

We never stop worrying about our kids, no matter how old they are. I hope it misses her, and/or she’ll be fine.

That’s really hard being so far away but I am hoping she will be okay.
