So, Now That My Kids Are Older, I Don’t Have to Worry… Right?
My son Patrick and his band mates toured the Midwest recently. I followed their progress on Facebook as they drove from Connecticut to Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, and Pennsylvania. In the photos, they’re young, handsome, and smiling. I cheer along and always click the ‘heart’ button underneath. Patrick’s doing what he loves.
The Facebook pictures keep coming. In Indiana, Patrick sits atop the band’s van, smiling. He writes how happy he is. Travelling across the land and meeting new people are opening his eyes. Life is good. My insides wither. And that’s when the hamster wheel, the one I had carefully stowed away, comes out. I picture the “what if’s.” What if that call had come from an Indiana State Trooper? “There’s been an accident.”
The rest of the tour goes well. The fans love them. I see Facebook pictures from Chicago where they stay in a rundown motel in what turns out to be a sketchy part of town . Another shows Patrick in a Chicago music store, surrounded by his beloved Fenders and Gibsons.
