Forgive the Auto-Draft again!

Stella

We said good-bye to Stella this week. I’m not sure why I get attached to things and often I don’t even know it’s happening until the thing leaves our possession. I enjoyed Stella. I loved driving her and am not exactly sure why. Maybe she made me feel bigger or safer on the road or maybe it’s because I knew I could take a lot of stuff in her like my gluten-free food and cold water. Maybe the attachment was because she journeyed with us across the continent and back or maybe it’s because she made me feel sporty and cool.

Whatever the reason, we said good-bye to Stella this week and I feel sad. It was some consolation that the new owner loved her name and assured me he’d keep it.

So we bid adeau to you, Stella.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And may your journeys bring you safely where you go.
