Wish Granted

Posted On August 25, 2008 | Filed Under Family

I took my Dad for a ride this morning. I talked about the weather (his favorite subject). Told him that Russell is starting college next week. Let him know that Steve’s first football game is on Thursday.

No, I’m not going crazy (although some would have a different opinion on that one). As my Dad’s health was in decline, he had told my Mom that he did not want any funeral, the he wanted to be cremated and have his ashes thrown out. But before doing away with his ashes, he wanted to ride around in his truck. Since I’m the one who has his truck, I was more then happy to fulfill that wish.

There were very few wishes my Dad was granted in those last days, but this is one that I am happy to say was easy to do. Now my Dad is situated comfortable right behind the passenger seat in the truck.

If you see a Big Red Truck driving down the road, give a honk as it goes by. You never know who is riding shotgun.
