Life has a way of turning the tables when you least expect it. I learned this firsthand when my neighbor, Mrs. Benson, decided that my old truck wasn’t good enough for our neighborhood. Little did she know that fate had other plans. Living in a small Texas town comes with its charms and challenges. Folks around here are down-to-earth and practical and tend to favor things that last. That’s why my old Ford F-250 has been my constant companion for as long as I can remember.Sure, it’s got a few dents and scratches, and the paint might be more rusty than shiny at this point, but it’s reliable. It was my dad’s truck, and after he passed, it became a piece of him that I could still hold on to. Every time I fire it up, I can almost hear him saying, “Son, this truck will outlast us all.” I never thought much about how the truck looked sitting in my driveway. It’s not like I was trying to impress anyone, least of all Mrs.
