A Quiet Drive

21 years ago, I went to the Hospital carrying a VHS Camcorder on my shoulder.   There, I captured footage of my firstborn, a sickly little babe born a month early, who had already suffered blood transfusions and having her heart restarted shortly after being born.   While there, I sang to her "Katie Sue, Daddy love you.   Katie Sue's my Darlin'."

Tonight, I set out helping her hunt for her first automobile.

My, how times they are a changin'.

I have more planning to do, and banks to talk to, and Insurance people...   There's no immediate danger of her driving away in a car she helped pay for.   But it will happen before August 23.

Daddy's little Darlin' has grown up.

Wow.   That went fast.
