(See previous entry about Alondra to know the background to this story).It's been almost two years since her accident (Dec 28, 2008), and 3/4 of a year since her license was suspended. This week, I received a call from an overjoyed Alondra....
"Betania?"
"Si, como estas Alondra?"
"Ya me fui al departamento de licencia....y ahora tengo mi licencia!!!!" (I just went to the DOL and I now have my license!!!)
Not having a license has caused immense stress for Alondra, and her excitement poured through the phone. I can't count the times I have talked with her about the toll a suspended license has taken on her, both emotionally as well as the ways it has thrown her into a catch-22. She hasn't been able to renew her tabs at times & hasn't been able to sell her car in order to pay off her fines. Having a license is something I have taken for granted, and her struggle and desperation has once again made me realize how much I take for granted. It quite a cause to celebrate and we are very excited!
