The Iron Angel

I took my father to the driver's license office today to turn in his driver's license and to get a photo ID.  His license was supposed to be renewed over a year ago, but since he hasn't driven since my mother's illness and we were in Pittsburgh, four years ago, we never bothered getting it renewed.  But, today, I decided to get him a photo ID, he should have one, he is still a person, an adult, and deserves to have some form of valid ID that is current and so we all headed off in our van that is especially equipped to handle him and his wheelchair.  At 89 years old, each trip is an "adventure" in the van.  We have two people who help out, Warren every day and sometimes others.  Today is was Daniel.  Although several people told me that the office would be filled and I'd never get him processed without an appointment, I pressed on.  Yes, I called first and made an appointment--for next week, but I really had my heart set on today, so I went there anyway with a positive attitude and a prayer to God that we wouldn't have to wait too long.
