Gratitude, Day 24

Today, I am truly grateful to have older children.  We ran out of gas on the way home tonight.  The little light never came on ... not even after the gas was gone.  My son pushed the car while I steered and while we waited for my daughter to arrive with a gas can.  Could have been a much different tale if the children were still younger, especially since not one motorist stopped to see if I needed assistance ... not that I blame them in this day and age.  Crisis averted, and I now know that the gas light doesn't work and that I need to gas up before it gets iffy.
