Here's A Little Story....
After gramps passed away he gave his van to mom...
Who then gave it to Mark and I to travel and make trips with the boys...
We nicknamed the van, "The Scooby Mobile" and took many trips in it...
Unfortunately, after Mark left the van didn't get much use and every time I walked outside or got in my car, I knew gramps was sooo mad at me... I could just hear him cussing...
If you knew him, you know what I mean!
LOL!
With that being said...
I got his message and took it to be sold, so someone else could get better use out of it and enjoy it as much as gramps did. I cleaned out gramps car, taking his pink comb, his handy cap decal/sign, prayer card, cassette taps and even ripped off the sticker on the steering wheel that reads..."Buckle Your Seat Belt!". As I cleaned I cried praying I was making the right decision, and knowing that the mothball smell of gramps would be gone forever. You will never believe what I came across... An empty Budweiser can...! OMG! One of gramps!!! I sat on the floor of the van and cried hugging the can... (wait till you see what I did!)
After two weeks of the Scooby Mobile waiting for a forever home, at the dealership, a man contacted them. He currently had the same van with 150,000 miles on it, loved it, and was on the hunt for another. The man could not believe that there was only 37,000 miles on this van! So the man drove down and picked it up!
You will never believe where the man was from....
ST. LOUIS!
The Scooby Mobile went back home after all this time!
Ounce I heard this I knew I had made the right decision and that gramps was happy!
I know you are wondering what I did with the beer can...
After hiding it so no one would throw it away, I took it to my lamp lady!
And here is what she made...
Gramps shines bright in my house everyday!
I love you and miss you!
