You were beautiful, Vinnie, shining in the sun, letting the sun shine in.
You were artful, Vinnie, a statue on Grand Avenue and at the LL Hotel.
You were comforting, Vinnie, a warming place for our freezing behinds.
You were glamorous, Vinnie, a glimmer of hope that even a Mom---this Mom---can be cool.
Vinnie the Volvo was sold yesterday to a handsome young Air Force man who has no kids. He is survived and replaced by the new auto in our lives. We finally accepted parenthood.

I'm a mini-van Mom.
