today they came and took the truck…

when my grandfather died he left a big truck to my brother in hopes that it would be his first vehicle. he was graduating the year after and it would be perfect for daily school trips up and down the mountain especially in the winter months. my brother however did not learn to drive until years later but played with the truck now and then adding a stereo and revving the engine like a typical silly boy showing off to his friends.

then one day he broke something.. and never got it fixed. he abandoned the truck in my parents driveway and it sat there for 5 years. we used it to hold junk

today my brother finally gave up every fixing the truck and has gotten rid of it. they came and took it away while i was asleep. it was weird to wake up and look out the living room windows this morning.. no truck blocking half the drive way. in a way it was kind of sad. that was, sorta, a piece of our grandfather. our dad’s dad. and since my dad went back into the hospital last night.. it kinda hit me hard now that the truck is gone.

the driveway just feels so empty.
