Tough, yes, but the seat was very low and I have been developing lower back problems for a long time and that made riding in it uncomfortable. My cousin is positioned so she can adequately care for it and she first rode in it in 1974, so it is part of her life also. It is in caring, family hands and I don't need to worry about it.
I do miss seeing it around here though. Sigh...
I apologize for being too late to reply but I do remember replying to this comment earlier, it might have not gone through.
Am glad its still in safe hands and you can still get to see it and drive it again. Things we love become a part of our life and we do not want to get rid of them ever, this is why I could never sell any of my mobile phones ever.
You can go to your cousin anytime to see it and to drive it too which is a plus and some relief :)
She (Debbie) keeps me informed and shares photos of events when the Volvo ie being used.
I feel the same way about holding on to small things that have memories attached. They are often reminders that our memories are of real events and not just something we have imagined.
Am glad you are still able to see it and know what it is being used as. Ask Debbie to share some photos for us too :)
That's true, memories attached with things or our acts or even if we relate memories with music at times, it stays with us forever. We mostly live on memories so there is no harm in attaching things with our memories in a bid to let those memories live with us forever.
You're a wise man, Hanan. I think you will do well in life.
Looking very far ahead into the unknown, we often find that we have nothing left but memories and very often, music can bring back memories the conscious mind cannot retrieve alone. We all should carry music with us in our memories. (Being OLD, I make a strict separation between music and "noise")
haha really? I wish for the same.
That's true, music or any other such thing affiliated with any memory can help us retain that moment for a longer period of time. We should all do that. Music is for peace, noise is to enjoy off. We used to have a lot of music before, now its a little music and a lot of noise, that what my father used to say, this is what any other old man here would say.
This ^ comment was saved as a draft when I could post it bcz of the update
Music encodes our memory in a special way, similar to the way mathematics does. GOOD music, anyway. I think that is why we remember special periods in our lives: the music was good and we remember it and the events that were happening when the music played.
I would like to hear about your father (when the bandwidth allows).
