Goodbye GTI

July 2013

I had about 10 missed calls before I called Conradi back.

He was almost in tears as he told me he had lost control of his car and spun out on the freeway. 

His car was totaled.

I jumped in my car and drove as quickly as I could for what seemed like forever. As I was driving I could see flashing lights and cones directing you into one lane. As I got closer I could see Conradi and his beloved car. 

The highway patrol officer said that he was very lucky. They had just put in the cable wires to stop traffic going into the lane across the way. He continued saying accidents in the past had done that and those people didn't end up as lucky.

I am happy he was the lucky one.

It really shook him up the rest of the night. So we relaxed and thought about how grateful we were that he wasn't injured.

Goodbye GTI, but thank you for protecting my love.
