Parting with a Friend
Wednesday, April 25th, 2007Yesterday I lost something that has been near and dear to me since my first semester in college…my Faithful Honda. Bought in December of 1999 we have had many adventures together; a trip to Jacksonville FL with 4 guys, a whirlwind college football weekend to Clemson and Tennessee, visits to the best friend in DC and ofcourse countless trips to Va Beach. She was a good car, if not a little finicky in the end. However she now belongs to a wonderful lady who is a foster Mom…I just hope she does well for her as she did for me.
On a side note, the lady that bought the car was just as sweet as could be. In driving over to get the title notarized, she was talking with and asked if we had kids. He replied we didn’t, just our dogs for now. The lady responded saying she used to think that people that didn’t have kids were selfish, but she didn’t believe that now. She urged him to enjoy our time together and not rush things. I just wanted to hug her after he told me that. So many people ask us when we are having kids, I have never felt so pressured to do something! Luckily, and actually ironically, we feel no pressure from either set of our parents, they also urge us to enjoy each other now and do it when we are ready. Spoken by truly wise people
