I have never forgotten that time or the lesson...face the fear, embrace the change...and suddenly that change becomes just a part of life...until a new direction comes along.<br /><br />Happy, don't hide your fear...know that somehow, someday you and your family will adapt and accept.Life is different for you now, than it was before, but it is as if a boil has been lanced...all the "stuff" that was hidden is suddenly in the open...you can only go forward, bruised and sore, but the lancing has already been done...the worst is over.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18435846.post-86075608530564631572006-12-04T01:51:00.000-08:002006-12-04T01:51:00.000-08:00Dear Marion,

I remember those scary first days at school - the fear of being different, of being separated from Mum. Does it ever really go away? I think we just learn as we grow up how to hide it better. I am scared now, but your words of comfort have made it easier to bear.

I learned English very quickly, as children will, but a lot of what was expressed by the others around me was incomprehensible.

I look at fear as an illusion or a power that tries to stop us from experiencing things that would help us grow.

The unknown the unfamilar that creeps in grabs hold of us. Yet, without this fear how would know comfort or security. So it is a teaching instrument that we all use. It is not comfortable but is what life is. <br />You have a knack of making these episodes in life eaiser to understand.

Reading your post made me feel like I know just a little of what being new must feel like, though.
