Every Parent's Nightmare

There is always that lump in my throat every time I hear the front door slam, and the car engine started. Will she make all the right decisions? Will she exercise the best judgement? Will she be safe?
Here it is, the first fender bender. Thank God, that was all it was - a fender bender. And less than 100 feet from our front door. I shudder to think what could have been. I see it on the news - I read about it the papers....
Not to worry, she is OK ... a little shaken, but OK.
A horrible way to learn a very valuable fact - cars are weapons and can kill in a blink of an eye. I am sure that from now on, she will take every precaution to ensure that this will not happen again.
