I started riding the bus when I was in Kindergarten and stopped when I got my license. I spent a lot of time on the bus doing homework, chatting with friends, and sleeping. Sometimes the bus was my favorite part of the day and other times, I couldn't wait to get off. Here are a few things you know to be true if you rode the bus:

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day.
