Another time, when I'd first moved away on my own to Chicago and had lots to learn, I was at a long stop light and when it turned green, I could hardly contain myself in this long line of traffic. "Why were the people just sitting here when the light had turned green for us and the cars on the road that crossed us just kept going and no one did anything. We just sat there. Well, I laid on my horn and wasn't going to take this lying down.

Well, we had to sit through the next light and pretty soon, at the end of the traffice crossing us, were two police motor cycles bringing up the rear. It had been a funeral! I just kinda slunk down in my seat and tried to be invisible while everyone was grinning around me. What a fool.
Bless your heart, Bonnie

That does remind me of a time my Grandpa died and my Aunt was driving hysterically~
I was 9 but as I got older I always remembered that and to this day when I see someone driving a little panicked, I too pray....

I always think that maybe THEY just got that dreaded phonecall......

It's good that we can learn lessons through everyday experiences and especially through the bad times~~
It certainly does help us to be both more accepting and understanding~

Patience is a virtue~~
