Default Shedding some man tears right now

Cliffs:
-Amanda Berry's grandfather promised her his 1986 Monte Carlo SS when she turned 16. She loved the car an they would go to car shows together.

-Well we know the story. Grandfather could never part with the car hoping she would one day return.

-They spoke on the telephone and the first thing she asked was if he still and the car and yes he does.

-Grandfather is going to teach her how to drive at age 27 and is putting in a car seat for his granddaughter.

Leave the porch light on Grandpa.

Sometimes these lost souls return.

Wow....That IS one great story, thanks for sharing, will cross post!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Mr Berry, 73, said: ‘A few days before she went, I told her I had this 1986 Chevrolet, a special Nascar limited edition, which I would teach her to drive in. And I told her if she did good, I’d give it to her.

‘The first thing she asked me was, ‘‘Grandpa, do you still have my car?’’ I joked and said, ‘‘No, I’ve given it away.’’ But then I heard silence and I told her I was kidding and she burst into tears of happiness.

‘I used to look at that car and think of her. I hope she was thinking of it too, and of us, while she was in there and I hope that helped her to get through it. I used to take Mandy to motor shows when she was a little girl.
