Maybe a photo of the Accord with a votive candle? I don’t think tears are ever silly (pregnant or not), and I especially don’t think this was a “silly little blog post.” What better way to use your talent for description and comic timing than in describing a momentous transition. I hope you can keep alive the memory of how the Accord (and all it represented) made you feel, and find something new to represent that feeling (and nurture it) in this new stage.

Thanks, Esther, Cathee, and Jen, for being so nice to me! I put this out there as a silly little blog post, and you all make me feel like I’m funny, smart, and brave. Bless you for your generosity!

Oh, I completely understand! I am not at all surprised by your tears. Sometimes, the things we have become part of who we are and how we identify ourselves.

I must say, you are a braver soul than I.

PS — I forgot to say, congratulations on selling the car so quickly.

Ah Kimberlee, never let yourself feel that you have to laugh at your tears. Even if they were silly (which they obvsiously weren’t), you get a ton of free passes for being pregnant, and are allowed to cry when you need to, for whatever reason.

Part of the reason I say that is because I needed a pregnancy free pass this week too — last night Brian and I watched the LOST finale and I cried the entire 2-1/2 hours. I think crying for a TV show is way worse than crying over a sold car. You’re saying goodbye to one life stage while moving on to the next. I was saying goodbye to a bunch of fictional characters that still live forever in the complete set of DVD’s we own. Alas.

Ha – “drug money” – you make me laugh.
I have this fear that I am going to get pregnant again. My husband got snipped but has not had his follow up visit – not cool. It’s easy to feel guilty because of these fears and losses of past lives.
Thinking of you today.
