Here are the pictures of that last wonderful day on the road...

People gathered quickly to
see what the sign had to say...

I was thrilled to get so many farewell messages, and so many hopeful messages
too!!!

The notes accumulated until there were 42 in all!!!

Here's
Rachel with Christina and me. She is such a good friend to us.
She has bought
many of my stickers and she knows just what we like!
I'm glad she was there to spend our last day together.
Christina sobbed as she drove away from Northampton that evening. I kept telling her, "everything is going to be alright" because she needed to calm down and focus on the road, but to be perfectly honest, it was hard to be strong myself. As she spent the ride reminiscing about our wonderful adventures, all the friends we've made, and the countless lives we have changed, I began to get a little teary too. She asked me, "Chip, who am I going to talk to when I'm upset?" "What will I do when I come out to the garage to sit inside you and meditate, and you're not there?" I didn't know what to say. There were no answers to her questions. Only time would tell. The good thing about being a car is that my spirit isn't stuck in park. Christina didn't realize it, but I never left her on this day. A part of me is always with her. |
