Well growing up i spent a lot of time at my grandparents and i made friends with these two boys next door. their father was a mechanic and had atleast 8 cars in his back yard at a time he would fix and sell. Well there was a 48 chevy truck 69 rs/ss and a 72 chevelle in the way back and i always played in the chevelle and the two brothers in the other two cars. And this went on from the time i was 6 to 9. Then my grandparents moved and that was really the last i saw of them. Around the time i was 12 the house up the street from my parents was bought and one day on my way home from school i noticed the the ford truck in the drive way and went to see if what i thought was right and sure enough when i got to the house there was margaret their mom behind the wheel with mark and bobby helping their dad push the 48 in to the back yard next to the chevelle and the 69. About a year later margaret their mom had past and she was just as equally fond of the chevelle but henry never got around to getting it running again. The car was given to their older sister who then put it up for sale.......And ill never forget the feeling and the silence shared when the three of us were on our way home from school and we all noticed the car was gone. We just kinda stopped and looked at the empty spot between the 48 and the 69. And after what seemed like hours of looking at the empty spot we heard my dad yelling for us to and i quote "get our @sse$ down their so we could all go" because everyone was waiting for us to go out for my 14th birthday dinner. Well as we all walked up the drive way everyone came out of the house to leave and the garage opened and their it was. My dad handed me the keys, a bible, a picture of our family and my back pack that i dropped on the floor and said " these are the four things that you need to focus on and everything else will come in time." Needless to say at 14 i was confused but very excited. Well at 21 i am happy to say i graduated with a bs in science, i am happily married with a 2 year old son and a eight year old step daughter, i know the lord and so does my family and everyday when i come home the first thing i see is the blue and white license plate that reads "Marge" on the front of my 72 Chevelle. And when my son disappears which he is very good at we always find him laying in the garage next to Marge with a wrench in his hand and a smile. I think the good lord is tellin me something.
