Today we said goodbye to Mom's faithful little Lynx.
She had given it to Heather several months ago, but due to old age, engine problems, major oil leak etc, the car ended up on our front lawn. (major money was needed to fix it, if it could have been fixed) Heather had abandoned it to us.
So, we were looking into how to rid ourselves of the lawn art, when a guy came asking about it. For the cost of getting the title out of Mom's name and towing it away, we basically gave it to the guy.
He will most likely know a place that will pay him lots of $$ for scrap metal, but since we don't know a place or have a way to get the car there, we let it go...
Mom watched as the guy put the car up on a trailer and drive off. Needless to say, she was very sad, crying even. Letting go of a lifestyle is hard. I don't know if Mom had a thought that there could be a way for her to return to Alexandria, but with the letting go of the car that "bubble" was burst.
Then we got an email from Joe with a joke that made us all laugh, and emotions were once again under control.
