Said It was ok but still kind of worry.....

Suddenly,I thought of the tragedy where a few students were swept away by currents and died when a hanging bridge collapsed somewhere in Perak not long ago,the children were then attending some kind of educational camp.

So yesterday,the day Marvell finally left us for the first time for his maiden 4 days and 3 nights, (mathematics evaluation camp)








I just pray that everything will turn out fine for him and that he will enjoy himself during this camp period........




P/S : I reckon it is true when they say,parents will not stop worrying for their children

    Learn to let go... You will have to do that sooner or later and they grow up...and slowly slip through your fingers.

    I have an adventurous friend who loves traveling and joining treasure hunt. He always bring his family for vacations. Even so, he has certain phobia in him and refused to let his daughter join the school trip to Singapore. Maybe he is just too protective...or does not trust the bus driver? Even though I'm a bit worried myself, I still let my daughter join the trip. It wil be unfair if I say no. I have to learn to stop worrying too much but give my kids the blessings instead.不要担心孩子，要祝福孩子。

    you know... I used to hate my mom for not allowing me to join the scout for a camping trip. I really hate her so much that I can still remember till today, haha.

    Back then I didnt see the intensity of care that she have for me... I just wish that mom would not worry so much. I'm at my growing up stage. Friends is very important... having fun is important...

    Well, just dont worry to much and pray for the best =)

    worry doesnt take away tomorrow's problem but it takes away today's peace.

    养儿一百岁，长忧九十九。身为父母的没有一天不担心自己的孩子。

    Good to be independent. Usually in cases like this, parents worry more than the child himself, usually for nothing. belum lagi bila dah besar. :-)

    Eh Marvell looks so much like you when he does that grin! Photostate kah?

    We can't be there all the time. Sometime you gotta trust them and let them grow to be independent. But above all to Trust in the Lord, once we commit everything in his care including our children. Don't worry he will assigne Angels to encamp around Marvell

    It is normal for parents to worry about their kis' safety during educational trip. My 5 year old girl got a educational and rehearsal trip (few hours) next month, and his dad already worry about her safety. hahahah! But we cannot be too overprotective sometimes. They learn when they are free to explore outside. Have faith in him and just keep telling him to be careful and alert.

    Concern?..Yes; Worry?..No. Let go and let God. Can understand Daniel's feeling same for Bananaz when ma Mama was influenced by neighbor about the danger in camping, eaten alive by tiger oblada obladi. So never a boy scout. When comes to my daughter's turn to join Girl Guides, go by all means never ever to miss the opportunity. Nothing to fear about especially after 911 sitting in the office is equally unsafe.

    I understand how u feel. When my boy was with the grandparents in Johor, I kind of feeling worried too. It is natural. Hope your son will enjoy his camp.

    I believe your son and his friends are well-taken by the teachers. Yes, parents always and forever worry about their flesh and blood. But have to let go one day :)

    I've always believed it is important to send good vibes. Worrying is equivalent to sending bad/unhealthy vibes. It makes the other person edgy at where he is. Thinking positively or simply not worrying releases the stranglehold - on both. Yeah, that's how I look at it.

    Marvell may one day thank you for letting him attend this possibly once-in-a-lifetime activity which incidentally only a select number get to experience. You are helping him make sweet memories. How's that, eh?

    I remember the first time my Quay Lo send our son to USA to visit his step sister when he was only 10 years old, flying alone. I could not sleep until the phone calls came from his step sis that he has reached safely. My Quay Lo said we, as parents should not be over protective of our kids otherwise they will never grow up and will not know how to fend for themselves. Now, looking at how independent my son is, I agree 100% with him. I also have learnt to let go now that he is a grown adult, having a life of his own. I don't have a choice do I! LOL!

    We parents know we had to let go at some point but it is so hard to do. And yes, we will never stop worrying. Our parents don't stop worrying about us either. :)

    Oh I still remember the first time my older boy went off on his first camping trip...I was worrying all the time..

    A parent's job is never done. We will still be treating them as our 'babies' even when they are adults LOL!!

    I am sure junior will do great and that he will come back with fantastic stories to share with you and then you will have so much to share with us!!

    Take care. Praying for his safety and that of the others!

    Shalom, my friend!

    i believe it is a very natural thing for parents to worry abt their children, even when the children become adults, you will still find yourself worrying abt them. I think we should all divert our worries a bit to more positive thinking like..oh, he's going to learn a great deal on the trip, he will learn what independent means, etc..that will help us to feel much better..
