Life is Like a Bus Trip

Dear Offspring,
At the danger of waxing poetic, your recent field trip has made me reflective. Life is like a field trip. Often times we think we know what to expect from the trip, but often find we journey into the unexpected. There are times when we are uncomfortable with either circumstances or, most often, our inability to control them. There are times when we think we are headed in the right direction, only to find ourselves making the block or missing a turn. There are times when we must rely solely on those we do not know or trust. But in spite of the challenges, or sometimes because of them; the journey will offer unexpected surprises, hidden gifts, laughter, love, and if we are lucky a little grace.So never fear where the road may lead. Just remember to smile and keep a "bus load" of friends with you. And it always helps if some if those friends actually have skills. 
Your Loving Dad
