Pops has had a few challenges with his health as of late and the car he has been driving creates a lot of pain for him. We have had a few challenges with the F-150 and were facing some potentially major repairs in the rear end. Yesterday he told me that I needed to take all my stuff out of the truck, that he would be trading it in. That happened today.
Knowing what was going to happen I took the opportunity last night at dinner to inform the kids that the truck would be going away. They were a little shocked at first but ended up being fine. Jack asked me if it would be okay for him to go spend some time with the truck so he could say goodbye. Of course he could. It made me smile. He is a good boy and sure has loved having that truck. I have quite enjoyed it myself. It handled great in the snow and has been a good vehicle for us for a couple of years. Sad to see it go.
