My grandma has pancreatic cancer, and this morning, she woke up in her worst state yet. It could be her last day, so I’m making this post to cope. To keep it Oppo, here are some cars that I recognize her with.

This is the car she always wanted. a G. She always used to yell, “GAELENDEWAGEN,” when we saw one on the road.

The first car she bought in America, a lil red Chevette.

The first car I remember her having, a 1997 Toyota Corolla. She actually had two, both were crashed.

The last car she ever owned, a 2004 Honda Civic EX. She sideswiped a big rig in 2012, and walked away. Afterwards, we had the talk.

A purple Citroen. She tells me of a story in which she went to the Frankfurt Auto Show back in the 70s and they had a purple Citroen on display. It had a green interior as well. Bodacious.

A beige Maserati Coupe. She tells me of a story in which she was in Europe in the mid-2000s and walked by a Maserati dealership. Inside was a “cafe ole” Coupe, she said it was absolutely gorgeous.

A Tatra. Back in the mid-2000s, we happened upon a car meet at Oak Mountain park. She told me to get a Tatra and show these people up. I scoffed at her then. I admire it now.

And finally, a Skoda, for her home, Czechoslovakia.

That sucks man, sorry it’s happening.

Hopefully the doctors can ease any pain she’s experiencing.

One of my friends is going though the same thing right now. I wish I knew of a better way I could help both of you, but the best I can do is say that we’re here for you. And I mean that.

pancreatic is indeed a bad one. nonspecific symptoms often delaying diagnosis until too late.

keep a stiff upper lip my friend.

I’m sorry to hear that. Last year my perfectly healthy grandfather came down with a bad cancer and died a week later. Best wishes for you and your family.

Best wishes to you and your family.
