Dad won't let go of driving

A friend of mine lost her eyesight to macular degeneration. She had to quit driving.

It was tough, but she had (I think) the right attitude.

When she went to the DMV to exchange her license for a state ID card, the worker asked, "Downgrading from a driver's license, huh?"

My friend replied, "No. I'm upgrading to chauffeured limousine."

Love it!

Love her response! We all should aim for her positivity!

That's the attitude!

My dad too has macular degeneration, but it was really hard on him to give up driving, plus he's a passenger-seat driver which upsets so much my mom.
