Dad's Ride
I’m 12 years old so I can’t drive. The only motorized vehicles I can drive are a four-wheeler and a go-cart. But I still love driving it feels like I can fly on the ground if that makes any sense. Ever since I was little I’ve wanted to fly, that’s one reason I love traveling because I get to fly in a plane most likely.
Sometimes my dad lets me start the car in the morning before I go to school. I love starting the car because it feels as if I’m the one about to drive it. I grab the keys off the hook, walk down the hallway, slip my shoes on and open the door to the frigid morning air. I hear the sound of the gravel under my feet and the click of the car door unlocking. I slide into the seat and put the key in the ignition and in one flowing movement I turn the key and I hear a muffled roar. I crank the heat up to high and turn the radio to my favorite station. Then I have to go back in the house and the fun is over. But in 3 and 1/2 years time I’ll be able to put my foot to the pedal and drive free as a bird. I love starting the car because it gets my imagination running.

A wonderfully written post my dear. Great job! I know you will be a good driver, I just worry about all the people who are on the road with you who are not good drivers!
Love ya!
Slow down young lady! You are growing up toooooooooooooooooooooooo fast!
Maybe I will buy you a car that can’t go over 35 miles an hour. No, better yet 15 miles and hour.
When you come to visit me it will only take you and hour to get here.
I love you Miss Maren,
Grammy xo

I know you will be responsible , but like Mom , it’s all the others out there you have to worry about ! I’m like Grammy, slow down !! and enjoy your live here and now . Sure hope the gas prices are lower when you have to fill up !! Love you Maren ! So proud of your wrighting talent ! Keep up the good work !
