She was so slick about it. She was transferred to Hospice on Thursday, when she got there she asked about the car, in particular how much I still owed (I never thought anything about it). Thursday at the lunch after the mass my stepfather handed me a check and said this was your mothers last wish. I was an only son and she always spoiled me, but this just overwhelmed me. I refused the money at 1st which upset my stepfather but my wife said I NEEDED to take is as that was her dying wish.
Then we were told she wanted us to take their 2008 Hyundai Elantra with 19K miles as she felt the construction by my job was not good for my car. This from a woman that NEVER drove in her life. How / why she was thinking of this is beyond me but words cannot express my gratification.
To lighten the mood up a bit, I could not wait to take the Camaro for a drive this morning but holy crap. After driving a 4cyl for 1100 miles it's not smart to step on the gas the same way when you 1st jump back in the Camaro. Let's put it this way, I probably lost 1/32 of tire this morning in my driveway.
