Driver's Wife

I don't drive, but my husband was a trucker for 30 years before he finally had to retire. He was past 70. I used to go with him as often as possible. We travelled together full-time for a year and off-and on other times. When our daughter was small we used to take her with us whenever we could. She was always good at geography because we followed Dad's travels with the Atlas when he was gone. I loved travelling with him and miss it almost as much as he does.
