Death of a Subaru

To my dear Subaru,

When you got sick a few weeks ago, I just thought it was something like a cold or a bad flu and as soon as you got new spark plugs and an oil change, you would be good as new. I really hoped that you would make a full recovery.

I remember the first day we met. Since then, you have been a great car and I have loved having you around. We have spent so much time together and I know that sometimes I took you for granted and for that I am sorry. You have put up with bad singing and bad dance moves. You have listened to countless hours of phone conversations, NPR, me-talking to myself including a some laughing and crying spells. You have been loyal and kind and I am going to miss you. Thank you for keeping me safe and transporting me to and fro.

I like to think that there is a place where old Subarus go to roll down their windows, turn up the radio and drive with ease through forests and across sandy beaches and over amazing bridges.

Please stay strong because I need you for a few more weeks and then you will be free.

Thank you for these great years together!
