An Ending
I can't help but wonder - was she too happy? Did I bring her bad luck by calling her a bus driver extraordinaire? There is a Norwegian philosophy about things going so well that something bad is bound to happen. And it has. Our DD lost her job as a bus driver because she scraped a sheriff's car with the bus late Saturday afternoon while making a right hand turn. The car was at an angle into the street while handling a traffic stop or something and she thought she had enough room but didn't. I don't have all the details but then again they don't matter at this point. She feels she's let everyone down, is embarrassed and very sad. She loved the job and tried so hard. I guess it wasn't meant to be but it's hard right now for her to hear that. Logistically speaking she now needs to get a new job - quickly - and we will help make sure she doesn't lose her place. I think I'm going to take a blogging vacation for a bit. It's time to circle the wagons.

Just absolutely sad. She is blessed to have you and DH.....she will be fine Sandy. Love can overcome so very much...like it already has.
Sandy,I am in Calif.and don't have your email address stored in this computer. You and DD have been on my mind constantly. I hope you are all faring well.....I have had tons of driving ideas,but don't know what road DD will take. Airport rental car bus driver, senior center mini bus driver, hotel mini bus airport driver and bell person.....I hope you will email updates. with love, rosemary
I was sure I had posted a comment, but now it is gone. Maybe I was dreaming. I will be praying for DD and you and the boys and everyone. She will find another job, but these kind of transitions are hard.
We will just wait here until you are ready to return.
Rosemary, those are good ideas and I'll mention them to Kathy. This was a really hard thing for her to handle but she is.
Mom, prayers definitely help. Thank you. If she hadn't loved that job so much it would be a whole lot easier.
