Thankfulness: Day 23

In 2010, Mike and I bought his grandparents’ Volvo. His grandpa has died and his grandma couldn’t drive anymore. The car was just a few years old and in great shape. Well, yesterday, six years later, Mike sold it. I wasn’t at home to see the car pull away with its happy new owners inside, but it made me think of how grateful I am for the transportation it provided. I always felt safe in that car, a heavy Swedish family-mobile– especially since I often had Michaela, my tiny precious cargo, in the back seat. I am thankful for the ability to go where I want, to be transported by a safe, well-maintained car, and I’m thankful for the memories of Mike’s grandparents and then us enjoying the car.
