Woodrow the Wagoneer

At the end of April I purchased another SUV because my beloved Wagoneer broke down...again. It's just one of those vehicles that you have to be prepared to fix little things on regularly. Besides that - I loved it, I still love it!

Woodrow the Wagoneer was the first car I ever had, and it was purchased the week of my college graduation. I saw him sitting in the grocery store parking lot calling my name. I had always dreamed about owning a Jeep, and I felt honored to be able to have the Final Edition Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I had many sanctifying experiences throughout the past 4 years, and I'm sad to say goodbye. Woodrow has been sitting in a parking spot since April - though I have been running him regularly to avoid build-up in the carburetor. It's for sale on Craig's List. I hope it sells soon.

So..in memory of my car, my friend Molly sent me the words to It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday by Boyz II Men. Because, let's face it, they know how to get to the heart of the matter. So here are the words to remember Woodrow the Wagoneer:

How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweight the bad.

I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

I do'nt know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.

If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
