That is so beautiful. It reminds me of the time my sister dropped something in my car and came back up with my driver's license that I'd lost months earlier. Awww...that was during the summer after she dropped out of her German study abroad program and came home early all depressed and I nudged and pushed and encouraged her to take some summer courses to make up some of the lost credits and she was living in the town where I was working and the summer classes we found were at a branch university campus about 15-20 minutes away from the town where I was living (which was an hour-long drive from the town where I was working) and she didn't have a car, so after work on Tuesdays I would pick her up and drive her to this branch campus and then go pick her up several hours later, bring her back to my place, and then take her back out there in the morning so she could go to class all day on Wednesday, after which she'd stay over again and I'd take her back up to work with me on Thursday morning so she could crash at her crappy student house (god, that place was a shithole, but she was living with her boyfriend (who later turned into her husband (but not legally)) and it was only for the summer) and work all weekend bartending, and who but your pushy big sister will drive you out into the middle of the cornfields and abandon you for 14 hours at a "campus" that consists of a single large building with only vending machine food for sale during summer term and force you to take community college-level classes for (knock on wood) transfer credit that you ultimately will not need when you withdraw from college completely during the following school year? Huh? Answer me that?
