But where's my car? I love my car almost as much as I love my pets. I can't bear to think that it's being cubed/crushed (after being an organ donor--they're taking everything worth anything off it first) and that's it, just like I can't bear to think that death is just a candle going out and there's nothing on the other side. (Belief in heaven is the only thing stopping me from being an atheist.)  So I've added a new territory, of sorts, to my concept of heaven, and now the Elsewhere Bar has a parking lot. My dad's old Corvette can hang out with my Pathfinder, and any other cars that were much beloved when they were on the road.Â
As I kept going in Meriden Hyundai trying out cars and talking to various sales people, it got easier not to see my dad there. Easier to say "I'm Bob's daughter" and realize the person I'm talking to didn't know him. But oftentimes in the process (which still isn't over) I got frustrated. I wanted my father, just so he could EXPLAIN things to me. So I'd know no one was ripping me off. Not that they would, but I am paranoid when I'm spending that much money.
(Today is also a sad milestone. It's been a year since I had a bird. Maybe that's why I'm sitting around thinking about death.)
