Write about endings.
Interpret that prompt however you would like.
That is the homework from a couple of days ago. I am not writing at all about what I thought I would and this has sat in my drafts folder. When I started this writing classes, one of my commitments was to write and publish and not judge whether it was good or not.
I was involved in a hit and run over six months ago. The person that rear ended my car, thought about it for a minute and decided to drive away. My car was totaled and tomorrow at some point a tow truck driver will come and pick up my car and drive away with years of memories.
Laura and Adam both learned how to drive in my car. They preferred the Chevrolet Malibu to Sue's car.
There were three road trips to Cut Bank, Montana in the Malibu.
A trip in March 2006 with Adam, for Kelly's prom in her junior year. What a trip that was and so many precious memories. My profile picture on Facebook, Twitter and this blog is from that trip. Nine months later Kelly's cancer returned.
A trip with Laura in 2007 for Kelly's high school graduation. A day filled with so much emotion as we watched Kelly walk with her class and receive her diploma.
A final trip to Cut Bank in March 2008 with the Sue, Laura and Adam to lay Kelly to rest.
Maybe I am writing about my car because it is easier then it would be to write about other endings.
