Everything Happens For A Reason

My parents haven’t been having the best of luck the past week. Their electricity still isn’t on at home, they basically ran out of money, and their vehicle broke down. My grandma paid for the replacement parts for the car, because she hadn’t really pitched in anywhere else, and she’s been staying with us since we had to evacuate. Anyway my step dad got their car back up and running. It’s an old car, like a 1989 Nissan I think, so it’s not too hard to work on. Yesterday they went to the store with I think their last five bucks to buy some stuff, and on the way they got in a wreck. Some lady hit them in their bumper. There wasn’t too much damage, but the thing is.. the lady didn’t have insurance and she busted out the tail light on my parent’s car. My step-dad gave her their information and while they were looking at the damage, the lady took off. My parents were shocked. They jumped in their car and literally chased her down, though, because who does she think she is anyway? When they caught up to her (she eventually gave up because she realized they were not giving up) she pretended that she didn’t speak English. Typical.. My parents bitched her out and she said she didn’t have insurance and offered them $60 to fix their tail light (which my stepdad can fix for about $10). She gave them the money, and then went on her way. Now my parents have a little bit of money to tide them over until we leave on Sunday. It’s weird how stuff happens. :)

Well that’s good that your step dad can fix it for cheaper so the extra money can help them till you get to go home.
