Congrats on the new bike! It is sharp. I think new bikes are even more of a high than a new car. Maybe because they cost less and are way more fun to ride.

As someone who believes that those who have moved on have a way of staying connected to those of us still on earth I can not help but think that your choice of the purple color bike, large white lettering and thinking about eggplants is might be your dad's way of tossing you a bit of humor.

Enjoy the ride. Maybe you could call her by your dad's name, just an idea.
