The Car and Child are Here!

First, let me say, I am TIRED. Rode/drove for over 12 hours yesterday. Being a stubborn, hard-headed 17 year old, the child wanted to drive back home by himself. The child's father and I both felt that he did not need to make this drive from Alabama to Virginia by himself. The child and his father rode in "the boat" and his grandfather followed in his car. At the same time, my mother and I were coming from Virginia. We had decided that we would meet in Knoxville and 'swap'. My mother would ride with the child and I'd follow in my car. I must say, the child is sooooo thrilled. He acted like a proud papa with a new baby. He would not let me or his grandmother drive! He is also a pretty good driver. Weather conditions were pretty bad. By the time we hit Roanoke it was dark and started to rain. The child did pretty darn good. I think that Nana had white knuckles...it is a control thing...but I was proud of my boy. Now we begin a different chapter....the child with his own car. I'm very confident that he will continue to be a good, responsible driver. Prayers and faith!!!
