THIS ONE! ❤️ After 13 years of ups and downs on Christina’s journey learning to drive. Christina… you can drive away happy today after finally making it through the other side. Your independence and those days at the beach with your children will be priceless. I am so extremely happy for you. You deserve this SO MUCH! YOU DID IT! 😘
I cannot leave this post without saying how truly amazing your fiancé is. He has been so very supportive and for him to write the following poem and send it to you / us on the way home from the test centre today melts my heart.
“To My Beautiful Driver
The skies over Salisbury whispered grey,
Rain tapped softly through the day,
The roads were wet, the clouds hung low,
But still, my love, you stole the show.
With steady hands and courage bright,
You faced the storm, you held on tight,
A rainy day could not compete,
With the fire you carried in your seat.
You passed your test, you did it proud,
A shining smile beneath the cloud,
And credit too, where credit’s due,
The best driving instructor guided you.
Patience, wisdom, calm and care,
The finest teacher anywhere,
But now the keys are yours at last,
That nervous chapter safely passed.
And selfishly, I’ve got to say,
Life’s just improved in every way,
No waiting round, no bus to hail,
My own taxi without fail!
So here’s to journeys yet unknown,
To roads we’ll travel, not alone,
Rain or shine, near or far,
My heart rides safest in your car.”
I wish you both and your family the very best with the wedding next year. You deserve all this happiness and more! ❤️
