Today I took my 1979 Firebird Formula to the garage for some fine tuning. The owner drove me home and then left to take the car back to the shop. I left in my other car and followed a few cars behind the Formula. As I watched my beautiful car drive down the road I was transported back in time. We've had so many adventures together. She's seen me through broken hearts, some not so nice boyfriends and some really great ones, death of both of my parents, marriage, divorce, miscarriages, death of my beloved yellow lab, betrayal by Hawthorne Gospel church I was raised in who chose fighting to get my inheritance over my soul, road rallies, road trips, paramedic school, the advent of first pagers and then cell phones. Yet as look out and see her in my driveway she is the one constant that remains in my ever changing life. She may be over 30, but to me she is the most beautiful girl in the world.
Does anyone else have something that has seen them through so many phases and time good and bad?
Have a great night everyone.
PS. Miss Tan is coming out of her shell and enjoyed her walk today with my black greyhound Kelsey. She is going to make someone a wonderful fur-daughter.
