Sweetest Christmas commercial I ever saw.

My wife lost her mom to dementia at 83, and her mom’s mom, who my wife shared a bed with in high school due to her grandmom’s failing memory, to Alzheimers.

She happened to see that vid and send it to me.

My wife is so scared of going like that.

Hard to "like" this but I sympathize. So sorry for your wife. If we get to that point, will we still know what to do? I think of the ending of Gran Torino. Apologies for saddening your excellent Christmas post.

My uncle had one. Might have been older. He was the doctor in Beaufort SC raising his four boys in the sixties and seventies. He was an avid hunter/fisherman.

His Suburban was bare bones, plumbers putty yellow.

Look. It was a great commercial. And I shed a tear. Amy asked me if I planned on torturing myself some more tonight.

Then I started laughing because the reality would be so much different.

No you can’t take her out. What’s wrong with you. She isn’t feeling well today.

Let’s assume they got out and came back.

What the hell do you think you’re doing driving my truck without permission. The hell is wrong with you. You could have hurt your grandmother or worse, my truck.

I almost called the police.

I forgot to save this gif the last time you used it. I’m sure I’ll have use for it elsewhere. If you think we have stupid threads here, you should see the car and bike forums.

You can send it to your kids. lol.
 
Square body Chevys were 1973 to 1987.
 
I didn't get a good look but, it was 1971 or 1972.
 
1969 and 1970 had a bar through the grill with the parking lights in the bar.
 
I had a 1971 K5 and a 1972 C10. My brother had a 1970 C10. Later on, I had a 1976 C10 and 1980 C10. I'm familiar with those old trucks.
 
5 minutes and 27 seconds later I feel like i might be a solid step closer to dementia
 
Dementia (and cancer) are about the only reasons I would be glad my parents died when I was young. Not really but I hope you guys know what I mean.
 
Yeah, I watched it and, yeah, I cried. Reminded me some of my mom and how my dad cared for her. Those “good days” are treasures and they get few and far between until they stop coming at all.
 
I’d like to go on record as saying I still haven’t watched it
 
It's sweet. If we were that age and in that situation at the end would be my wife say "Dustin, I still love your ugly ass"
