Sissy's Day

My dear mouse,

Yesterday Sissy bought a car. It was a used car this older lady had traded in at Daddy's job the night before. He called us that night & told us it was in good shape & he thought it would perfect for her. So they let him test drive it home & keep it overnight & of course Sissy fell in love right away.

Just like me when I was her age- anything with wheels.

It was an exiting moment. We're proud of her because she paid for it with her own money that she's been saving ever since she started working. I'm happy for her- I wanted her to know the feeling. The rewarding feeling of knowing that all your hard work pays off- to be able to say you accomplished something on your own...

...

Of course it made it 100 times better that Daddy's job have us a great deal on it- really unbeatable actually. It made it special too that Daddy got to sell it to her & do her deal.

She still won't be able to drive it on her own for a few months yet. She doesn't officially get her license until October, but there is no rush. It's plenty of time for her to practice & get used to driving it.

I'm sure she would of preferred her dream car; a jeep. But being in the working world now- the real world; she's learned to appreciate how hard it is to make & earn money & how expensive things really are. That everything has a price...

It's been a good lesson all in all.
...

I got a little emotional on the way over to Daddy's job, thinking of how she's growing up so fast. How you will never get that chance. How things change & how time moves on. How I wished you were here with us to share this milestone in Sissy's life.

Even though I know you were smiling down, feeling the same pride as we did...

I just couldn't help it baby girl. My heart will always ache for you.

But I didn't want to steal your sister's sunshine. I lived in the happy moment- as always, with my heart split in two.

I love you so much baby girl. To say I miss you is not enough. Half of me is gone forever.
...

Thank God for from us; for watching out for us & you too my mouse. I know you are always looking out for us; our precious angel.

Always & forever,
Your mommy



Making the deal.

To think I bought the same make car so many years ago!
I was proud of myself that day too but sorry to let go of my
hard earned money- even more excited to have my freedom.

Ready to go. :)

P.S. Today makes 3 years that my friend Dana passed. Say hi to her for me. Tell her I miss her too. <3
