Prompt: Love


He’d gotten special permission to be there. It wasn’t usually done to allow a person not in the business to be there at the end. Finally he understood, standing there amidst the noise, dirt, and smell. It was on a par with taking your furry loved one into the vet’s office for that final time and being allowed to stay to pet and stroke the smaller person into oblivion. They weren’t alone in those final moments.

He looked at his van, running a hand lovingly over the faded paint one final time before it was loaded into the car crusher.

Was driving home and saw a donate your car to (enter cause here). If you have an old car, one that doesn't work anymore, they will take them and give you get the benefit on your taxes of having donated to charity.

It sort of is a preparing for the eventuality but I'm hoping that that won't be for many years yet. Read the longer version to Meep.

You have cars for years. They are talked to and at, sometimes plead to when you neeeeeed them to start. Given praise when somehow they've saved the day and stopped when they might not have or given that little bit extra speed or agility that prevented an accident.

I finally understood why ancient peoples broke pots and such given as offerings.
