dad drove Arroskotos down and spent the day / Ramses

[belenen]

Last week my mom convinced my dad to drive down and give me the Jeep that they bought 'for me' five years ago. I'm still kinda in shock -- this is the first time in my life that my parents have come through for me in a time of need. Part of me is still waiting for them to somehow take it back... mostly I'm bewildered. I want to feel grateful,

Whatever the reasons for your getting the jeep, the important thing is that it is now yours. I wonder if there is some sort of (self created) ritual you might do, to erase any bad associations or hurts away regarding the car. After all, you will have many adventures together, and you are trusting it to keep you safe. (I guess I am one of those weird people who have a strange connection to my vehicle...) Are you one of those people who hang things from the rearview mirror? If so, maybe you could choose something special, something "you" (like a dreamcatcher made by a friend, or a crystal from a beloved place, like the Renaissance festival, or a tiny wreath woven from dried vines from your favorite kind of tree...just something that represents you in some phyical or spiritual way...) and put that on the dashboard or the mirror. I always do that with a new vehicle. That way I also get the benifit of thinking fondly of the place or friend or memory every time I drive. By the way, the Jeep I currently own is identical to yours, but

that's a really good idea to do a cleansing! I am not sure how long we are going to keep hir, because ze has poor gas mileage so we're thinking of trading hir in for something more gas-efficient, but if we end up keeping hir for a while that would be a very wise thing to do. I do like hir a lot, ze gives me such comforting vibes, and I'd hate to part with hir emotionally, but financially I'd love to get something else. :-/

I wish I had reflected on that before, because I didn't answer as clearly and thoroughly as I would have liked.

This happens a lot when someone brings up something you never thought they'd bring up. It's kind of annoying. You're all like OMG They actually asked about this! Then you don't say everything you would have wanted to.

I think it is great Arroskotos was brought back to you! Perhaps you could do a cleansing with the car to let go of the past negativity and bring in new joy. It sounds like you were really able to talk with your dad. I am in awe of how open and clear you were with him about what you think and who you are. Also, I am *so* happy you found out the name of the tree!

I hope they weren't doing anything to the kitty either. It is nice you are around to give him love. Hope you had fun with Kazi, Brian, and John! Can't believe kmiotutsie will be there so soon! Exciting!!!

There is so much more I want to say but rather than writing everything I want to connect with you. I miss you terribly and I really want to hear your voice and be with you. Let's figure out a time...
