Wil wanted to ride his bike to school. We live on a busy road so we agreed on him riding from a park about a mile away. He’s 17 years old so of course did NOT want me with him. We agreed I’d meet him where the sidewalk curves to the high school.
It’s very cold so it wouldn’t be unusual for him to feel cold, get off his bike and just walk off anywhere. So yes, when I saw him crest the hill I was very happy; as was he happy to be given this independence. He even got cheers from a friend driving by!
Wil had to cross the street to the high school, so it was a non-negotiable that I be there to facilitate that. I wish I could see who was in the pickup truck at the Crosswalk. That driver saw Wil’s approach well before Wil arrived at the Crosswalk and waited there extra time until Wil approached and crossed.
That’s what I love about this small community. How we know and look out for one another. ❤️
