Turning 38

I celebrated my 38th birthday a couple of days ago. No biggie. Do I feel older? No. Do I feel wiser? No again.

My parents called me to wish me a happy birthday and my dad said something to me that made me think. He says, "you know, when I turned 38 I brought our family over from the Philippines."

Wow.

Could I ever think of doing that? I think of how they packed up the 2 kids, got on a jet and landing here in Minnesota in November (coming from Manila no less). No job, living with relatives, a different country and culture.

Could I handle that?
