Paul purchased a used 2004 Chevrolet Silverado truck
in 2016. He would work on a used vehicle as if it were new.
One morning I walked into his shop and found him standing inside
the truck under the hood working on it-I just had to take a picture of him.
He was gifted with the abilty repair vehicles.
In February of this year (2017) we
had a date night. We were talking about his truck and for some reason I drew
a blank at what make and model his truck was he said "It's a Chevy
honey"
I cherish that conversation.
I cherish that conversation.
Here again, I was in the
position to make a decision as to what to do with his truck. This truck was
very special to Paul, and yet I knew it was not practical for me to hold on to
it. We posted the truck on Craig's List and within hours we had many
requests. One such request came from a young man that lived in Wisconsin.
He drove from Wisconsin and took one look at the truck and said he wanted to
purchase it.
The following day he and his
wife brought a cashier’s check and drove the truck away. I cried, and cried for
days. A week after the truck was sold, I received a note from the young
man that purchased it. He wrote:
"Patty, Thanks again
for the truck. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue the care and
respect this vehicle received. This truck has been a dream of mine so
thank you for making it happen. Sorry for your family's loss"
At that moment, I realized
the right decision was made-this truck is bringing joy to this young man and
his wife.
I will continue to write
about my reflections in days to come.
Thank you for reading, and
have a blessed day.
