What a weird feeling that was.

On the way into town today we drove by my Mother's car sitting on the side of the highway.

We drove by.

I looked at the car sitting on the wrong side of road just like I look at anything unusual while we are driving.

It took a minute to register that it was my Mother's car.

hmmm....

weird, weird rush of emotion

I was pretty sure that my brother had recently let one of his boys take it out of Mother's garage, but, I wasn't certain (as I try to distance myself from them as much as possible).

anger and resentment were the first emotions

then this wave of loss, sadness, grief,

and then acceptance ... I looked at Mark and told him "well, I guess it is none of our concern anymore".

I can only imagine how strange it was to just suddenly come across it. I am so glad that you were able to get to 'acceptance' so quickly and not get bogged down in the rest.
