When I was born, my grandma was 56 years old. She has had silver hair for as long as I can remember. At that time, my parents and my cousin’s parents were both busy with their careers, cousin and I were raised by our grandmother. My grand-grandfather was also still alive, together with my grandpa, my grandma had to cook and do housework for a family of 9 members. She is an ordinary Chinese woman who has lived a hard and selfless life.
There are some cars on the market that will always be there, and its listings never seem to expire. It makes sense that this situation is getting longer and longer, people always like competition, and so do I. Sometimes even if I encounter an ideal target, if it is not so popular, I will not be eager to step forward. Others should have the same idea, we all have higher priorities. A less-popular car’s audience could be less and less.
Since more than one year ago, I see the sale listing of this 1993 S 320 everyday. It’s not asking much but always there. Over time, I got used to it and no longer paid too much attention to it – just like my grandma. She was very weak after my grandpa passed away 16 years ago, but the longer she lives, the longer we feel she can go on forever.
On the day my grandma passed away two weeks ago, the link of this car also expired, which meant it was probably sold. I said to myself, maybe I should just let these things go! I always wanted a silver car but was always waiting for something better. Is this car bad? No. Any good ones from the past few years? No. If you don’t miss it, you won’t appreciate it.
The day after we finished the funeral, the car showed up again. I thought about it for two days and decided to contact the seller. Grandma has always had silver hair since I was born. I spent 30 years with her, and if I looking for a 140 that looked like my grandma, it would be this silver one from 30 years ago. I’m glad she gets home.
I decided to name the car Nonna, which is a female name of Latin origin and has several meanings. In Italy, it’s a common term of endearment and respect used to refer to one’s grandmother, this is my grandmother. In Latin, it means “ninth” and is commonly given to girls born in the ninth month, September. This car was delivered in September 1993. Nonna is a very matching name.
