We have allowed our (almost 17) dd to go downtown on the train with friends. She did it about 2 years ago, but some Moody Bible students picked them up at the train station and took them out for the day. Today, it's just them.  Downtown Chicago for those that don't know where I'm at. My anxiety level is pretty good. I've been praying all morning. she called when they got down there and will check in periodically. I'm trying my hardest not to contact her and be a control freak. I'm still nervous, but know the Lord is with her. |

I'm sure I could handle being in Chicago alone! I am so not a city person. I'm sure she will be fine though.  |

((Hug)) It's hard letting them loose.
I don't know if I'll ever get comfortable with mine being out and about.
I'm always a little tense until they get home.
You're not alone! ((hug))
Prayers for safety and great memories for them.

They did great. Walked down to the park to see The Bean, went in the Harold Washington Library (which is really neat) and made it home by 2:00. I did panic slightly when I tried getting in contact with dd & 1 of the other girls - when they didn't answer my text for 30 minutes. I needed to know when they were coming home since I was going out. She didn't think to bring keys. Baby steps for both of us I suppose.

Yep, definitely baby steps!
Glad they had a great time and you made it through the day okay, too. *hug*

Just seeing this. Glad everything worked out well.
I would have been nervous too.

Thought about her earlier and wondered how she did. Glad she made it safely.

I didn't see this until now, but I'm so glad that your DD had a good time with her friends. I absolutely LOVE Chicago, but I would have the same misgivings you did about letting my DD go there with friends. We moms are so very good at worrying.
