Dear Annie: But, darling, what if you fly?

Dear Annie:

This is in response to “Doubting Everything in Life,” a young girl who is a rising high school junior. The introverted teen wrote about her fear of making wrong decisions. You offered her some good advice. May I add this quote that we shared with our kiddos?

Teen: “What if I fall?”

Mother: “Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?”

I might add that I still use this on my 80-year-old self. — Sunny Grandma in Indiana

Dear Sunny Grandma:

A beautiful quote and sentiment, indeed, courtesy of Erin Hanson. Oftentimes, the most wonderful things in life come from taking chances. No matter what lies ahead for “Doubting,” I hope she remembers this and that she is strong and courageous enough to handle anything that comes her way.
