Family!

Body
My sister and I had met, in Jasper. We planned to enjoy a meal and then go to the funeral home, together. Our sister-in-law had died. Her funeral was in Livingston, an hour and a half’s drive, from my house. Neither my sister or I drive at night, anymore. And we don’t drive that far, alone. So, this was our plan, to get there. We wanted her immediate family to know that we cared. That we wanted to be with them, in this time of grief.

I've thought long and hard and I'm reasonably sure nothing like this has ever happened which is remarkable because I thought I'd seen and done it all when it comes to wrestling horses, donkeys and the rare pig I've trimmed in my lifetime.
