A 1978 Super Bee

My father has a unique possession that represents his personality and young spirit. This possession is his 1978 Chrysler Super Bee in perfect conditions. This car has a very special story because of the way my father got it and the reason he has great affection for it. When my father was 18, he began to work with my grandfather, someone who he admired very much. When my father started to work he was also studying in college, this was sometimes very exhausting for him. My grandfather was a doctor and he attended several people that couldn’t go to a pharmacy to buy the medicine. My grandfather was in charge of delivering the medicine to the patients. My father took that job and started delivering all this medicines to the corresponding patients. After classes my father spent the rest of the day delivering medicines around the city. After many jobs done they both became firmly attached because they spent most of the time working together. My father admires the great effort and generosity my grandfather gave to his patients. Their relationship was so strong that even though my father didn’t earned much money; he knew that those quality times couldn't be better paid. My father started to save his money to get something he always wished for since the day he saw it; this was my grandfather’s Super bee. After a few years my father earned enough money and decided to ask my grandfather to sale him the car. This was a very special moment for my grandfather because he noticed something very important. Even though some days my father was very exhausted after making the deliveries. Even though my father had much homework. Even though he could have earned the money faster working at some place else. My father preferred to spend those afternoons working with the person he admires the most. That day my grandfather noticed how his own son had taught him the importance of family and hard work to achieve your goals. Since that day my father has taken care of that car because of the special value he gives to it. Although many people have tried to convince him to sell the car, he won’t accept any offer. Although taking care of it is very expensive he would always try to afford having it. Although he really doesn’t know what to do in the future with it, he expects it continues as a family possession.
