My husband’s ability to drive gradually declined. Because I watched it happen to him, I’m hoping I’ll recognize it when I’m no longer a safe driver. However, since most people don’t, I’ve told my kids that when they think my time has come to give up the keys, I will do so—maybe not happily, but willingly. We’ll see if that really happens. I’ll give them a copy of this article, so they will have it in writing.
