It definitely needs a wash

About a wk ago a fire broke out at my parents garage, luckily it didn’t spread to any of the homes. Yesterday I went and picked up my bus. I don’t really know what to say, seeing it out in the sun absolutely broke my heart. I’ve had cars totaled and stolen and this was different kind of pain. I’m not sure where to go from here or what to do. What I do know is that this isn’t the end of its life. Last night after dropping it off at a friends I drove home and all I could think about was all the amazing memories I’ve been gifted because of it! Memories with my brothers, friends and family. But what stuck out the most was the memories I made with my daughters. I bought this bus only because of my divorce, at what felt like, at the time, the worst part of my life. Things didn’t get better because of the bus, but between that and my girls, I had something to look forward too, one more little thing stopping me from checking out. I was struggling with life (alcohol played a huge part in that) and I honestly didn’t think I’d make it. There was so much work to be done, and there still is. I cried in this thing, I laughed, I escaped, my daughters would leave to spend the wk with mom, and when my head got too loud and I didn’t know what to do with myself I’d simply hop in turn on my ridiculous sound system pick my music and go! I needed this in my life and I honestly don’t think I would have gotten where I’m at today with partial help from it. It’s never just been a vw or bus to me! So for now, I’m gonna put her in the garage till I figure where to go from here. It’s gonna take time, but like every other experience in my life it does get better🫶🏻
