Hey ya'll. Just a quick post to let you know I am still here and plan to post with pics as soon as I can humanly get a chance. I've been very busy at work, backed up from taking two weeks off for the holidays. Then on New Year's Day got a call from one of my sisters, my other sister's boyfriend was killed in an accident New Years Eve. And no, he wasn't drinking. That was my first question. It was a very unfortunate accident in her car. He was only 39 years old. And she told me Saturday that he was to be my next brother in law this year.
A word of wisdom to those of you with paid off vehicles that take off the collision insurance to save a little money. It's not worth it. Her car was a 2005 paid off and worth $8000. She took off the collision to save money and the car was a total loss. She was out her boyfriend/fiancee and her car.
So I gave her my car, a 2000 Impala. And I went out and bought myself a 2012 Kia Soul +. Didn't want the car payment and didn't like it when I drove it home Friday. But actually learned to like it while I drove my car and a friend drove my old car to NC to her on Saturday. Still don't like having a car payment. But my sister needed a car. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do for family. I can better afford it right now than she can.
I just don't understand why life has to be so cruel sometimes. I never will I guess. Anyways, that's what is going on with me. I miss you all and hope to catch up with everyone very soon. Another word of wisdom that can't be said enough - tell those you love that you do and show them every day what they mean to you.
TTFN

ReplyDeleteI'd like to know if you have hamsters chasing you down the road after that new Soul. ;)

So sorry to hear about that. We dropped full coverage on a truck we had and then a few months later I had an accident on black ice and totaled it. I agree with you about the insurance. Maybe going with a larger deductible to save money would be a better bet. Take care.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so very sorry. There just are no words. My thoughts and prayers for your sister. And you ... what a sister. Your kindness and caring is beyond words also. Yes, I agree that we do for family but there really aren't many who really would. You are what family is all about. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteHow very sad. I will keep your sister in my prayers. Bless her heart, I can't even begin to know what to say. I do know one thing, you are an awesome sister. What a kind heart you have. Blessings to you and your sister and her boy friends family, too. Oh, and hugs to my pal Leo, hope he is feeling much better now.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your sister and so glad you are able to help.
