I put a comforting hand on Jeff’s arm as he reminisced about the adventures he and his friends had had with that minivan during their high school years. I thought fondly of its cracked windshield and taped-together taillight, just a few of the flaws that seemed more like lovable quirks as we drove further away.

From the back of the car, a tiny voice asks how long ’til you arrive at Grandma’s house. Six hours—six hours to go.
