Angela and I drive most places together and take her car (the Genesis). Last week she went up to Ventura for a girls-day with her sister in-law Rikke. On her way out she asked me if she should take 'the Camry', and I said "nah... take 'the Genesis". Angela appreciates the practical aspects of keeping Madison's car that has 76,000 miles of warranty remaining, yet it doesn't spark joy with her either.... perhaps too practical and personal for both of us.
Madison smiled down on us today... Angela felt it too. We bought the SUV (thread below), basically exchanging Madi's car for something she would love me to have instead... something fun and would spark joy! Madison greatly appreciated the unspoken yet never implied sacrifices that moms and I made... and wants us to experience joy. Enter the beast. No more 'the Genesis' or 'the Camry', so we didn't have to call Madison's car by a different name. Bailey likes it too :-)
Yes, Madi's smiling upon us and I know this to be so... what each of us truly believes is the only truth. Life is precious, and finite, so it's my absolute responsibility to find, promote, and embrace joy... Madison's life and mortal death taught me that. I'll write about my cheap cruise to anywhere and potentially more tattoos when I get back.
