Last week I bought a new car--a Chevy Equinox. I had debated about whether to buy GM again since I would no longer get Dad's discount and since, well, the future of GM is in question. I was free at last! No longer was it mandated to buy GM! I looked at Hondas and Toyotas online. But, in the end...I couldn't do it. I couldn't go against tradition. A non-GM car had never been parked in our driveway! And, I wanted to honor Dad and the 37 years he put in at Central Foundry. So, a GM vehicle is parked in the driveway--as it should be and will be as long as GM stays afloat.

I love you, Dad. Thank you for all your hard work and for providing your family with everything we needed and then some. We never went without and we always had a stable environment to grow up in.

Love,
Susie


p.s. It was hard for me to get rid of the Vibe. Mom and Dad rode in that car many times. I took them to church. I took Mom shopping in Indy in that car. It was the last car of mine they will ever have ridden in. They liked it--esp. Mom. I think she would have liked my new one, too. It feels strange to not be able to show them my new car as I've always done.

I miss you Mom and Dad.
