Tomorrow I am handing over the keys to our motorhome to the new owners. I have been crying non-stop since the deal was made on Saturday. We have owned it 24 years...an antique...a wonderful club. We have travelled 107,543 miles in it and slept in it 1175 nights. We travelled to every mainland state except North Dakota and Wisconsin and all Canadian provinces except Newfoundland. It was a huge part of our life together. I want to keep it soooo badly but I know I cannot do the maintenance. I couldn't bear to see it rust out in the yard. It hurts.
Oh Ainie, My heart aches for you. I’m sorry this is a necessary thing for you. I’m actually crying for you right now. But you’re right, if you can’t do the maintenance, I agree it would feel terrible to watch it rust away. I love all the miles and all the places you’ve visited in that wonderful memory maker, camper. That was our plan, never happened. I’m glad you had that time. I feel you’re pain. Praying for you to have strength tomorrow. Robin
Thank you Robin. This morning I actually was going to call off the sale but the new owners are already on their way. Mike loved this vehicle so much. He spent hours working on it when we weren't living in it. I asked him to sell it last summer when we found out his cancer had come back again and he considered it and told me he just couldn't. Somehow I feel like I am a traitor today to be selling it but I know I couldn't travel in it without him or maintain it. I guess I have to realize that the motorhome itself is just an object. What I really need is Mike back so we could have more adventures together!! Today I am making people with stock in Kleenex rich.
I ache for you! In how you express your feelings for the camper and wonderful memories, I’m crying for you. I know exactly how you’re feeling. You’re trying to do the right thing, but it’s so hard. I totally understand and wish I could give you a hug and be with you to help you through this difficult day. What you’re feeling is natural, some of your best times happened while traveling together. Of course its hard. Im praying for you. When you’re up to it let me know how you’re doing. ❤️
