It's been two years since the t-bird came home. I need to take a moment and settle into that reality.
The time has gone very quickly as I worked on the car with my son. The time has gone painfully slowly as I cared for my dying parents.
The car isn't "done", but it is an enjoyable touring car that has been in a parade, a car show, and several cruise nights. I look forward to enjoying it for a long time, and passing it on as a memento for my boys.
My parents are gone, but I am still managing the estate and the grief. I know this will pass, but it's not clear what legacy they have left in my soul.
I do really enjoy the car. It reminds me of an adolescent hope that I had forgotten! I particularly enjoy driving it at night, basking in the glow of the instruments, and remembering how I longed for that freedom.... a freedom I now find myself experiencing in new ways.
