“Dad is really, really freaked out about driving in the snow.” “I’m driving,” I reassured her. She nodded, but it was clear she wasn’t done. “He’s…” She shook her head, struggling for words. “Ever since mom died in a car accident he’s been really weird about cars. Especially with snow though. He might act…weird or jumpy—or like…I don’t know. Nervous? But can you…just be patient with him? I know sometimes he’s a lot but he’s really just feeling too much all at once and he struggles getting it all processed.”
