What a Steal by cdonohoue

What a Steal

I took a picture yesterday - and then the world fell apart. My ex husband was found dead by one of his sisters. It is a long, sad story of depression and heart disease. I have no idea what I'll be doing the next several days, but the first step is the coroner. I may be here, and I may not.

This truck is perfect for David. When I fell in love with him when we were 18 years old he was rebuilding an engine - and fire would come out the top. He loved cars.

I found this old truck sitting at the side of the road in the Utah desert. Doesn't look like it had many takers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friends and family at this sad time Cathy. x

A sad photo and a sad event in your life. Distressing even though you were not together! I guess his condition had something to do with that but your feelings might still be the same! Take heart from all these wonderful comments from your friends!
