Mom and Her Car
My mom, June, is about 5 feet tall and probably weighs 100 pounds soaking wet.
Mom is 83 years old now and suffers from arthritis. The other day her car died as she was pulling into her driveway. It was the alternator that needed replacing.
So, instead of leaving her car in the street and waiting for AAA to come rescue her, she pushed her car into the driveway.
Yesterday I went down to Central Park to see her and to spend the night. She is quite an amazing lady. I'm glad to be home, and glad for our little visit. I'm also glad that she didn't hurt herself while pushing the car and then running to jump into it before it hit the tree. I told her that maybe she should just wait for AAA to come next time. There isn't much traffic on her road, and I'm sure anyone who did come by would see a little red car in the road and not hit it.
That's not mom's way. She wouldn't want to be a bother to anyone.

My mom passed away last May. She was 89 years old, so this happened several years ago.
