Sometime today I'll be arriving in Paris, France.

hi,<br><br>This is a post I'm supposed to be writing in a few days. It'll be a post for the simply r/Paris chamber, but I'm posting it here now, because I'm not sure if I'll be able to post it in a few days or not.<br><br>I'm 14. My mom is dead. She was killed by a drunk driver when I was 11, and her death was the reason why I started learning french. I've been saving for a few years, and I finally have enough money to go to France. I've simply always loved France. I used to live in the middle of nowhere in Maryland when I was younger, but my mom would always take me to a nice ass restaurant when she got off work, and there was this one place that served really good Creme Brulee. I don't know, I guess this whole trip is kind of because of that. Or maybe it's because of my mom.<br><br>I've got almost $3000 in my account right now. I've spent all of the money I have to get here, and now I'm sitting in JFK airport waiting for my flight out. I've only got $300 left, but I don't really care. This trip is simply because of my mom. I've never been to France, I know very little of the outside world. I'm scared, but I'm going to do my best. When I get to Paris, I plan on going to a cheap hotel and staying there for a night, and then I plan on going to a very nice restaurant and eating until I can't eat anymore.<br><br>I don't know what other things I want to do in Paris, but I want to go to the Eiffel tower, and I want to go to the Louvre and see the Mona Lisa. I want to finally taste some real escargot, and I want to drink some real wine.<br><br>I don't know how long I'll be staying in Paris for. I don't know what will happen to me. I'm scared. But I'm happy.<br><br>This trip is for my mom. I love her.<br><br>That's all for now, and maybe forever. I love you all, and I love my mom. Goodbye, and goodnight.<br><br>EDIT: if you're interested in this story, I'm making a new post every few days or so, and I write about what's happening in detail. This is the first post, and it simply serves as an introduction to the story.<br><br>So far, the response has been simply overwhelming, and I can't thank you all enough. I'm going to update as often as I can.<br><br>-Thanks
