Driving can be dangerous, no matter how cautious you may be. This is all-the-more true for new drivers, many of which are only in their teens. It’s no wonder, then, that it’s so common for parents to stress over the day their kid gets their first car. Then there’s the kid’s perspective: “If I wreck this car, my parents will kill me!” Luckily for Alison, Dad had the right perspective when it came to the idea of her getting in a wreck.
Years later, Alison discovered a note in the glove box of her first car. It was included with her registration. The note reads, “If you need this because of an accident, relax. You didn’t do it on purpose. I love you. Dad.”

How sweet is that!? Dad knew that, should Alison get in a wreck, she’d likely be afraid at how he’d respond. So, he went ahead to make sure she’d know that what matters most is she’s okay. Objects like cars can be replaced but she can’t.
“This made me tear up. I didn’t have this kind of father and it makes me so happy to see it exists and others did,” someone shares on social media, with another adding, “Remembering this for 14 years from now when my kids drive! That panic of thinking you’re in trouble is real!”
