Thank You GM
General Motors has provided my family with a lot of amazing opportunities. It started with my grandfather who worked for Motor Insurance Corporation (MIC). My grandparents moved around (as most GM families do) and at one point they transferred my grandfather to Massachusetts. That is where my father met my mother. Thanks to GM for that, without them my sister and I would surely not exist.
My dad began working for GM while he was in college at the parts warehouse during the summers. Immediately after graduating from OU he began working for the General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC). GMAC gave us many adventures and we moved a lot during my childhood. Was I sad when I had to pack up and move? Yes. As an adult, am I thankful for all of the places and people I have gotten to met, as a result of those moves? Absolutely. I still am in contact with some of the people I met while living in Houston, Chicago, St. Louis, and El Paso (I was too young when I left Little Rock to have friends - I was only 1 1/2 years old). My parents are still in contact with several of their friends that they have met over the years as well. They helped pay for both my sisters’ education and mine. They have provided a stable environment for my family for a LONG time. I learned to drive in a GM vehicle. I have ONLY owned GM vehicles. I will ONLY ever own GM vehicles.
My parents’ final move, before my father retired after 32+ years, at GMAC was to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (OKC). My parents then convinced me to come down and check out OKC. I was living outside of Denver at the time. I came down and visited and decided to move here. I am thankful to GMAC for moving my parents here, I love it here. I love being close to them. I love that I see them, even if it is just passing in our cars. During the school year, there is rarely a day that I don't see one of my parents while we are going to or coming home from work. Had GM not moved my dad here I would not have met Jay and in turn I would not have my children, Breanna and JJ. I figure that GM is responsible for my parents meeting and Jay, my husband, and I meeting.
So to the "old GM" I would like to say Thank You. I am sad that you had to leave us. You are a HUGE part of my family. Thanks for everything. I am happy to return a bit of money though my taxes to help you out. You have done so much for us. It’s is the least I can do. I look forward to supporting the “new GM” as much as I have supported the “old GM”.
Thank you GM,
Amanda
