Another "Last"

My last child now has a driver's license. I knew this day would come, and it is a bit freeing for me, but... So many of the things in my life are coming to an end this year. I now have no more children that I have to teach to drive. First thing Moriah said when we got in the car after she passed her driver's test was that I am no longer in instructor mode, now I am in critique mode.
