A TRIBUTE TO MALCOLM by Leslie Girmscheid, MD
“When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.” ~Margery Williams Bianco,I know I usually write about hot flashes and Traditional Chinese Medicine, but sometimes a piece just writes itself. This is for Malcom, my best-ever car. Although my husband wanted me to trade him in after we had been together for 5 years, he was just too good to give up. We went the distance and then some. He became Real to me.
I am not sure when we decided the car was a “he,” but I chose a proper Scottish name for my Highlander — Malcolm. He was a no-drama car. I took care of him and he took care of me. He always gave me ample warning if something was awry so I could get it checked out. He finally felt “broken in” at 105,000 miles and ran like a charm. And every Mother’s Day and birthday , my only desire was to have my car detailed so he always looked good.
He loved road trips best. With our many moves — from Kansas to Massachusetts, then from Massachusetts to Maine , and back to Massachusetts again. To Kansas for a visit and Wisconsin for a family reunion. And so many holiday, vacation, and college trips to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, DC, Long Island, Maine, and Charleston, SC. In total, he traveled to and through almost half of the US states as well as 5 Canadian provinces .
