Bye Bye Charlie

Charlie died. He is gone forever and will be sorely missed. Charlie may not have always been reliable, but he always got me from point A to point B. He may have been loud, shaky, and at times smelled like a dead cat, but he was mine. He may not have been beautiful on the inside, but on the outside he was.... alright. We sure did have some good times! Road trips to SLC, Bear Lake, Park City, Provo, and once even to Rexburg. And you can't forget those thousands of trips between Fruit Heights and Logan, Logan and Preston. Yes, he was a good first. I will forever miss my Charlie, even if he was just a hunk of junk. Goodbye Charlie. Goodbye.
