RIP Sable, RIP

In case you haven’t heard, sadly, Ryan’s car has passed away. In remembrance, I have a few words and, naturally, a couple of haikus (the highest honor).

The Sable, fondly nicknamed “The Jellybean” or “The Hoopty,” lived a long and full life. Painted green and bubble-shaped, she was a well-loved car. In her younger years, she was in charge of transportation for an entire family, carting around kids to school and sports practice, and parents to work. In her later years, she served as a reliable vehicle to Ryan, getting him around town in Columbia and to and from Kansas City. In the past six months, her health continued to decline, and she was eventually confined to speeds less than 35 miles an hour. Despite the diagnosis, she still served an important role by going on errands around town and getting Ryan to work. There is no doubt that she was a fighter, brave and strong until the very end. She will be missed by all.

Oh my Jelly Bean
You were loyal, brave and strong
Up until the end

We will all miss you
As you go to car heaven
Look for the wagon!
