My safety moment

This morning I left the house at 7:15 in order to catch the city train at 7:30. I am a trainee in Berlin now. My mom popped her head out of the small window above her bed in order to wave me goodbye and wish me a good day. I rang the bell on my bike and waved back at her.
In my family we like this ritual. It makes our world and life seem easy and good. A month ago it was me looking out of the window, hiding under my blanket again after my mom had disappeared behind the turn. I would catch another hour of sleep and then get to my calm and easy daily activities.
I can’t decide which part I like better.
