Since my daughter doesn't have a car, I drove the kids to school.  I believe even if she had her car, she wouldn't be willing to drive it.  It caused me to be late for work, but that was okay.  I felt assured I would know my kids were safe at school and I knew my daughter would feel best with someone else driving. 

We passed the accident site where the snow is still ruffed up from the accident.  I could sense the pain and fear in my daughter.  Life must go on though.  She feared going to school because she knew the kids would be relentless in teasing her...and they were.  Even a teacher made a negative comment.  Not sure where our society is going wrong, but we seem to have forgotten positive feedback goes much farther than negative teasing.

Today we are closing another chapter on this year.  And, although the accident still looms over our heads, it was a beautiful morning for a ride out in the country.  This photo was taken after dropping the kids off at school while heading into work.
