If wringing my hands could solve anything, I would have singlehandedly
ended world hunger and created peace and tranquility across the globe.
Instead, I’m just as nervous as I have been since I booked this trip and no
closer to the excitement my daughters would have me believing I should
feel.
It’s so easy to them, with all their youthful fearlessness. But travelling
alone is different for me. I’ve never even lived alone.
I’ve dined alone a time or two since Tom’s passing, but even sitting by
myself in a crowded restaurant is stressful and foreign to me, the way it
feels like everyone is watching, wondering… judging.
They’re probably not, I know, but logical or not, the thoughts remain.
Intrusive and relentless.
But the girls don’t understand any of that. How could they? We raised
them to be strong and independent, fearless and carefree. They’ve both seen
more of this country than I ever have and Rachelle, my eldest, has already
visited three continents outside our own.
It feels silly that I would be so unlike the women I’ve raised—but here
we are. Similar in looks, spirit, and humor, but not in that fearlessness I
envy in them both so much.
“You’re too old to be sex-trafficked,” Chloe says, breaking through my
thoughts.
My mouth falls open and I whip my head around to look at her
perched at the edge of my bed. “I’m sorry?”
“I mean,” she says, motioning toward my hands, my tell, “if that’s
what you’re worried about.”
“Well, I wasn’t.” I huff. “But thank you for the reminder that I’m so
old.”
“I didn’t say so old, I just said too old.”
I roll my eyes and look back at the suitcase splayed open on the bench
at the end of the bed. “Have daughters, they said.” I shake my head.
“Besides, it’s Tulum, honey, hardly a dangerous or unfriendly place.” Her
eyes narrow as her attention drops again to my hands, so I let them flop to
my sides. See? I’m fine. “I’m forgetting something.”
“You made a list.”
“A spreadsheet,” Rachelle clarifies as she steps into the room, holding
up a sheet of paper. “Color-coded and everything, like the true control freak
that you are.” She hands it over and I scan the items on the list, going
slowly down from top to bottom and double-checking the contents of my
luggage.
With a sigh, I set the list beside the suitcase. “It’s all there.”
“See?”
“But… what if I forgot to put something on the list?”
“Mom,” Chloe says, gripping my shoulders and turning me toward her.
“It’s okay to be nervous. But you’re not flying to the moon. If you forget
something, buy it.”
I sigh as I nod, but I can’t shake the nagging feeling that I’m forgetting
something important. Of course, it could be that I’ve never travelled
without Tom, or spent a Christmas without my babies. The thought wraps a
hand around my heart and squeezes. “This is ridiculous. I can’t go.”
