It’s the end of an era. Tuesday evening rolled around and I returned home after a long day at work and some drinks with the girls. As I walk out my back door to leave again, there is a car missing from a spot that is always full. It takes me only a half second to realize that the corolla, the car that symbolized my teenage years, is gone. I had scheduled for the Kidney Association to come and pick it up, so it wasn’t any kind of surprise, but there was still a little strain on my heart when I realized it was no longer in my life.
The car was never that great; it was never that bad. It gave me freedom in high school and reliability all the way through university (not to mention a few fights over sharing it with a certain sister. Haha!). It saw me through so many events and trips that I can’t help but be sad to see it gone. It’s kind of like losing a friend; a friend that you never actually liked all that much, but you got so used to having around that you feel a little empty when they are no longer there.
Goodbye old car. Trusty old corolla. Thanks for getting me out of that ditch and all the good times. I’ll miss you and I’ll always remember to ‘Mind the Gap’.

Goodbye Corrola! Without you we'd probably still be stuck in that ditch.
