How do I handle a long gap on my résumé? (update)

I took time out to care for a family member after working as a school bus driver. It has been weighing on me all week. I am nervous about being filtered out.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 6 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
