A Jump is Needed

My daddy saved me numerous times with my various car events.  He was my go-to guy when I stalled out, had a flat tire, a dead battery, or a service question.  Most of these times, I was overly-emotional, frustrated, and at these times he was his natural, calming self.  He always always fixed it for me.  It was after a dead battery experience that he became surprised to know that I did not have jumper cables.  When he gave them to me, I remember feeling so cared for, because it wasn't a special occasion gift, it was a "You really need to have these in your car" gift. Clearly, I could have bought them for myself, but instead he just took care of business.  They have sat in my trunk for years without being opened, until yesterday.  A friend needed a jump. Opening my trunk and seeing them there was so......comforting and sad at the same time. All I could of in my head was "thank you Daddy."
