This reminds me of my parents nagging me to be home on time, let them know where I was, etc. Took me a while to "get" it.

This is appropriate.

Took me awhile, too .My Dad still stands in hisdriveway until I pull away....watching.

I used to be tempted to (jokingly) reply to my parents " Drive carefully" with " No, I think , perhaps, I'll drive recklessly today" .

Guess I'm glad I never did.

Lost six friends in a single accident in 1978. Two were brothers and 4 of 6 lived on the same street ( less than a mile from Home ) . 4 were to graduate a week later . I'll never forget the Parents and their sense of loss. Still close friends with Three of (surviving)  Parents all these years (and miles away) later . They tell me that it helped to hear me ( and other friends ) talk of their lost ones' after ( and even now ) , as it reiterated the fact that they had been part of our lives on this Earth . They said that people who feared bringing them up was just like 'pretending' they never existed. I still treasure their Families and the friendship I had with them .

I hope Katies' friends will do the same with Stig and his Family .

Well said.

One day you will be telling your parents to "drive carefully", god willing.
I once walked in Stigs shoes a 35 year hole that never heals completely. But thru the grace of god our loved ones are never forgotten and their spirt shines through those they touched.

May god bless and keep you all.
