Have Grace

This husband and I….

Trekked 1,065.5 miles...took three days...this old gal was behind the wheel...my Mr. drove...from the passenger seat...
 
43 years of safe driving...lots of states...lots of big cities...it’s time..it would seen...to hang that BABY ON BOARD sign...
 
This brave girl...is suddenly a big driving baby...a white knuckle driver...a sitting on the edge waiting for the Road Rager to rage...
 
Sometimes...RR...an old gal needs to go 65..in a 75...because she doesn't know the roads...perhaps she takes longer than a millisecond to turn left...because she wants to make sure the coast is clear...she can’t help your speed is 75 in a 55 and when old lady driver merges...you suddenly appear..
.
The drawn out honk...foul mouthed words...gesticulations...zipping by in the no passing zone...

Make me want to sob...break down...hang up the keys...
 
This old driver...is not perfect...but neither are you...
She's not immortal...and neither are you...

Maybe one day old lady caution...or someone else’s...will keep you safe... 
Until then…HAVE GRACE hangs in the car window...

HAVE GRACE…
For the teen driver...the young mother...the tired worker...the weary traveler...THE OLD LADY...
​ 
And this husband of mine….agrees.
