Do You Remember?

Both of our children came home from grade school at ridiculously early ages singing "the wheels on the bus go round and round," which was only fair as that's exactly how the wheels indeed worked on the school buses they rode for all the years they went to Buckingham and Kelly Middle Schools.

I have no idea how many miles, total, by the time you added up the soccer team excursions, for both Kelly and Norwich Free Academy and the NFA Wildcat marching band jaunts to all points across the state for competitions whose successes filled so many NFA trophy cases.    

I took their completely uneventful journeys, from departures through arrivals to returns for granted when so much of their safety and security was the result of their drivers who approached their task as if they were transporting precious cargo because long before any of the rest of us had realized it, they were. 

This is sort of a thank you for taking that pride in your job, whatever your job is.
