It is sad and unfortunate that it took the tragic death of a young girl to realize the value and importance of my children’s school bus drivers. Each morning, as a matter of routine, I would wait with my children for their school bus to arrive, help them onto the bus, tell them I love them, say goodbye, and watch as the doors close and the bus drives away. A few hours later, I would wait for the school buses to bring them home, help them off the bus and listen (and listen and listen) to how their day at school went.
