I used to go with my Dad every Christmas to put a wreath at Grand mom's grave. It was a ritual....and one year we didn't go, then another and another, and I wondered if he forgot where she was. It was his Mother after all, Grand mom. Till this day, I still don't know.
I got a call from him one morning...

Can I finish my coffee before I answer dad?
"Yeah, yeah sure."
I told him to get the 6 person deal
