Why Else Would I Be Here?

[ehowton]

Mom arrived home after 12-months in various care facilities. First thing my father does is drive down to the local Wal-Mart pharmacy to get her 21 prescriptions filled.

"Do you want all these filled now?"

"No, just pick out a couple at random to fill. I'll come back again tomorrow and you can pick out a few more."

...

"Yes, please."

Hurrah! That is great that she got to come home. And that comment so sounds like your Dad.

i'm glad your mom has your dad - i hope he actually said that.

He didn't. He wanted to. But he didn't. I told him I was going to tell the story as if he did.
