My Dear John Note to the Beater....

To my beautiful blue beater...

Oh how I loved you, you came into my life unexpectedly & with resistance on my part but you did get me from point A to point B, all the while you had me staring at the temp gage praying you didn't overheat of course, but you served your purpose. You were a good little old car. You took me to the stores, to get the mail, formula, to pick Alyssa up from school when she was sick, Taylor to all her doctor's appointments in Middletown, mine in Milford, you even got me up our hellish driveway when it wasn't plowed. You made sure I made it to Christmas with my family, the city for 4 weekends in a row to plan & throw Taylor's baptism, to welcome the whore home from Iraq, you were easy to parallel park for you don't take up much room, you took me to my mom's, my in-laws, you have had your trunk packed to the max, you have been stuck in a ditch, dirty, put to your limits, laughed at & ridiculed but you still came through. You aren't the prettiest thing to look at but you are loved. You are silent for your radio doesn't work & the speakers are blown making the CD player unusable, your music was your elderly purr ,the heat blasting out of your vents, the air blowing through your rolled down window cause you always needed to have the heat blasting so that we never reached that dreaded H on the temp gauge... But we made it, we had a wonderful few months together but I now hand you off to Patrick, my dear beater... He will love you now, he drives slow & never cleans out the garbage, leaves the blinker on well after he should have shut it off, but he wont curse at you & hide his face in shame when driving you. He will drive you with pride which is what you deserve after all your years on this earth. You are a good little car.. I wish I could say I will miss you but I wont.

Love your former daily driver,
Elena
