…Julie gets.
When I really want something, I have this habit of making it happen. Fortunately, there are not a lot of things that fall into the really want category. A smaller vehicle, however, has been on my list soon after my husband’s passing. Although I once begged to have it, the MommyVan had now become too large for our mini family. It’s empty seats were a constant reminder of the void left behind.
During the past couple of years, I’ve struggled with the fact that the MommyVan was paid off and still running. As time passed, however, each trip to the service department revealed an ever growing list of repairs. With one thing after another starting to fail, I became more and more paranoid to drive the MommyVan on roads less traveled during off hours. This past week, I postponed my departure to travel during daylight hours.
