This was my Great Grandfather Richard who was married to the happiest woman I ever met: my Great Grandmother Mildred "Mickey" Carr.
I've heard many sweet memories about these Great Grandparents of mine.
They were truely the happiest couple.
I've been thinking about them a lot, ever since Mickey joined Richard in the sky.
Also, I've been thinking about them a lot, ever since I created: Madera Hudson (@mrs1951hudcom).
Ever since I saw the movie, Cars, on April 17th, 2021, I have fallen in love with Hudson vehicles.
I created Madera Hudson, so Doc Hudson (from the movie) could be happily married to her.
I chose Madera and Doc to experience adventurous moments together: road trips with their VW Bus friend, cruising on beaches at sunset, catering food and gas at drive-ins, and collecting antiques at flea markets...just like Mickey and Richard.
I chose Madera and Doc to live every moment of their lives together: to act young, no matter how old they are, to still prepare food and fuel for their full-grown children, and to bill and coo with each other...just like Mickey and Richard.
I chose Madera and Doc to be the sweetest and happiest married couple who never broke away from each other...just like Mickey and Richard.
My Great Grandparents have inspired me so much.
What's tough is learning from them the hard way...when they're watching us from above.
They were with me to tell tales at my very young age, but I was too young to listen, to understand, and to remember their speeches...and I had very little to no interest of asking about their past before, whereas, my mind is full of curiosity today.
I see now...the older I become, the quicker everything happens.
A few years ago, I thought it would take a lifetime for the world to be modernized and advanced.
No.
Today, the world has upgraded dramatically with technology.
Soon enough, the lower class will afford quantum travel, so we could revisit our past lives and see our new past before our birthdays.
With this time travel to the past, and eventually the future, we will have a more accurate understanding of how, what, when, where, who, and why our lives were like with our ascendants and descendants.
Living right now is all we live for.
We have what's limited to us.
We don't need to be spoiled with every answer.
What matters most are the little things in life.
We admire the past more than now, for what we have now is too much than the past.
We definitely won't admire the future, for there will be too much to handle.
They say, living simple is the best way.
It's hard to let go of the old things when new things are introduced.
Just like people, pets, homes, vehicles...cars.
We may keep a few things that we've been used to for so long, but when the time comes...we have to let go.
Living simple is hard too.
Everything is bittersweet.
Everything is different.
That's what makes our lives eventful.
Good moments done and remembered.
Bad moments done and remembered.
We just have to accept every moment...no matter what.
Keeping the goodness keeps us happy.
Let's take today and any day of our lives to fulfill happiness.
My family and I will also take this month to honor my Great Grandparents: Mick and Dick...just like how I will honor my beloved character and her husband: Mud and Hud.
❤️💞💙
