I Miss My Brother Who Passed Away
January 5, 2018 will be the one year anniversary of my brother’s death. I would like to share a cute little story about him. He was such a good brother and it makes me feel good to be able to pay tribute to his memory in this way. This was my dad’s favorite story to tell about my brother.
The Grocery Store
Paul was good to go to the grocery store for mom and dad. Before her got his driver’s license he would walk to the store, but after he learned how to drive dad would let him take the family car.
One day Paul went to the store and arrived back home with sacks of groceries in each arm. My dad calmly asked Paul, “Son, is something wrong with the car?” Paul answered, “No dad, why do you ask?’ dad replied, “Because the car isn’t in the driveway.” Paul told dad that he would be right back and he skedaddled out the front door. Paul forgot that he had driven to the store and he left the car sitting in the parking lot and walked home toting the bags of groceries. My dad never let Paul live that down.
That incident was a highlight in my dad’s life. It gave him so much joy sharing the story of how his son forgot to drive the car home from the grocery store.
