Why is Noah’s OBS so important to Abigayle?
Noah built this truck from a parts truck. His dream was to buy it back after graduation. She was with him the day he got rid of it. Trading the truck was one of the hardest decisions he ever made and he almost backed out even after the bill of sale was signed. He was hesitant, but he was sick of driving a standard to work everyday and thought he wanted a newer truck. Her dream is to bring Noah’s vision for that truck to life. Abby told us, "We planned a life together. Nothing will bring him back, and I will never know what could have been, but he will always be a part of me. My hopes to get the truck back were so high after I saw it on Marketplace and besides missing Noah, it’s all I think about. I know someday I will fall in love again, but that seems impossible right now. And whoever that might be will have to understand Noah was and always will be a part of my life."
Abby shared a letter she wrote which said "To me, the truck isn’t just Noah’s truck, it’s a part of our love story that ended way too soon. It watched us fall in love from the moment he got his license on January 8th and started driving it. I remember where I was and what he said when he told me he got his license. All that truck's adventures are from Noah and me. I know all the history because I was there. I never thought I would be crying over any truck ever, but here I am. When we first started dating, he broke his hand because he was mad the truck wouldn’t start on Valentine’s Day. He asked me to be his girlfriend in that truck. We had our 1st kiss, our 1st fight, our 1st 'I love you' in that truck. Even my name is on the back wall. No one took any of the stickers off, which just makes it that much more memorable. I remember when and where we were when he put all those stickers on, inside and out. We were inseparable. I couldn’t ever imagine my life without Noah."
Abby had been desperately looking for the truck since Noah passed. She was so close, then as she was getting ready for our senior prom, it popped up on Marketplace. His asking price was too high, but he said someone from Noah’s past was willing to pay full price and buy it in the morning. Abby admitted she couldn’t compete with that, but she would do everything in her power to come up with the money. The seller said he would get back to Abby but never did. Instead, Noah’s dad called and told her a family friend stepped up and purchased the truck and that it is home in Rutland. He explained it is safe and she can buy it when she has the money.
It's important to know that Abby will always have a group of friends knowledgeable enough to help her keep the truck in running order.
