One speeding ticket later and in the wee hours of the next morning we stumbled through the front door of my Aunt and Uncle's home in Tennessee. They were barely awake for breakfast and shocked at our appearance. My mother simply said "Where is Pap?" She started off down the hall in the direction of my Uncle's head nod and reappeared about 20 minutes later to the same group of confused expressions. She told me to go back to Pappaw's room and stay as long as I wanted to visit. It was a strange visit for me not like any of the others with him.
