Do you remember when you got your driver's license when you turned 16?  It brought freedom and a way to get around without having to ask for a ride.  Soon after I got my driver's license, I backed my dad's big white Oldsmobile out of the garage and took a huge chunk out of the side of the garage.  Yes, my driving skills needed perfecting.

     Tomorrow, my baby, my son, turns 16.  He is the youngest in our family, so this event is like turning another chapter in our lives.  Now there is no need to drive him to school or his golf tournaments or the mall or the movies.  But with the driver's license and the car, comes added jittery nerves for me... mom.  I will worry each time he leaves the house and wait for that call to know he gets to where he is going.  My daughter has been driving for 4 years and I still have those unsettled feelings each time she gets behind the wheel. 

    And I thought sending them off to kindergarten was hard,!!!! I cried the first two weeks I stepped inside the school to drop them off or pick them up.  I hyperventilated for 4 hours on the drive home after dropping my daughter off at college.  So, now here is another page turning in a chapter of our family life.  .
