New Chapter

We knew the day was coming but it was still a hard day.  The deal was done in December and we told the kids that the fire engine would be going.  However, we were not certain of the particular day.  We received a call at 7:40 in the morning on Wednesday from the transport driver who was two hours away.  Donny was already on his way to school, thank heavens.  I told Abigail the fire engine was going and she sat down and colored a picture for the new owner.  We took her photo and put the picture in the glove compartment and when both kids returned from school the engine was gone.  I think I cried the most, I'm a big baby.  I am much better and I know that we made the correct decision.

 

Abigail drew this picture of her and Donny in front of the fire engine for the new owner.

That's me.
