The Sweetest Sound.

It snowed last night. My son works nights. I sent Daniel a text before I went to bed,late last night, I said, "PLEASE, when you get your lift home tonight, wear your seatbelt." He text back and said, "I always wear my seatbelt Mum."
He didn't use to wear his seatbelt, it wasn't until two of his friends, were killed in a car crash, neither of them wore seatbelts, they were decapacitated! From that day, Daniel has worn a seatbelt, but I thought he had gone back to not wearing it.
I recently have been going to bed SO late, that just before I fall asleep I hear him come in. He works far away from home, and is dropped off, about half a mile from home and walks the rest of the way.
Last night, worried about him, I fell asleep before I heard him come home. It was time for me this morning to get up and get ready for work, I opened the bedroom door and walked across the landing and then, I heard him sleeping, it was the sweetest sound.
