I don’t know for how long it was that I had the sensation of you hovering over me. There were times when I appreciated you being there, like some sort of guardian angel but there comes a time when I wished that you would let me go so I could see if I could do it on my own.
I knew I couldn’t always be dependent on you. I had used you as a crutch for so long now I think it is the time for me to leave, step out into the world and see if I can hover like you.
I know you are apprehensive about me taking this step, but believe me, I think I am ready.
For no matter where I go I know you’ll be there watching, ready to rescue me should I stumble and fall. And I do love that about you. You are my insurance against the slings and arrows of this world.
My mind is made up, I think I am ready.
Will you hold this while I make ready?
Yes it’s my GPS charger; we are born with them built in now. Cool eh?

Ahhh! I want my implanted GPS! I’m horrible with directions, you can ask my wife (better yet, don’t 😉 ). Creative and great take on the prompt!
Thanks Jeremy be good wouldn’t it. I have a new GPS if only I could figure out how to use it..
hahaha I like what you did with the photo. Nice…..my GPS is in my car and phone. I think I am good to go. Although my car has a British accent now.
Thank you Anja, my GPS I need lessons in making it work for me. It couldn’t even find Canberra the other day, maybe its me not the device?
ummmmm……not sure how to reply to that. lol I will only say all technology is only as good as the operator. 🙂
I think that is a very accurate response.
🙂
Now this went in a completely different direction to where I thought it was going. Good job of misdirection, Michael 😀
Oh you follow me round Lyn you never know where you might end up. Thank you for your comment and you make me happy to think I have led you where you didn’t expect.
Sounds like my relationship with a certain daughter! Goodness ..lessons needed it seems, I used mine today for the first time.. GPS that is. I liked where you took this. 🙂
Thank you Jenny, more important you liked where your GPS took you.
sort of – I am writing a post about my rather interesting day…
great…look forward to reading it…
Heh, I like that. An internal GPS could be handy, but that voice in the head may be a problem 😉
It could be the voice of the GPS as they can be irritating. Thanks Al.
Can you imagine if it was in the voice of Brian Blessed?
Turn right in 300 yards. Flash Gordon is alive? Diiiieeeeeeee.
Hahaha…..yep can’t be comforting can it……
😀
Here I thought what a moving and emotional write and then the end took me for a spin lol I have no sense of direction no joke that my 6 year old leads me home when I get lost. She is like a GPS her sense of direction is just impeccable
Thanks Yves, your 6 year old knows where the food is.
She probably does lol
LOL!! 🙂 🙂
Thank you Helen, happy you had a laugh.
This totally surprised me where you ended this. But i want that GPS…when my daughter was 3 she would help me get back home…no kidding! The fuel I wasted getting lost…sheesh! I’m told GPS is bad for older people, like moi, we need to use our memories…draw mental maps to avoid dementia. {Sigh} I think I may get lost there too.
Thanks Oliana, a built in one might help many of us.
