Dad parked in front of Bill Johnson’s Men’s Wear.
“I don’t know why your mother thinks that you have to go to this.” Dad pushed the glass door open.
Bill Johnson’s grey hair was piled high like a snow capped mountain. He shook Dad’s hand.
Dad hesitated for only a second. “Mary Lou, my sister, was killed in a car accident.”
“Jesus Denny. I’m sorry.”
Dad took a breath. “So what about a monkey suit for this fella?”
After that it was as if everything was normal. I got my suit, Bill patted dad on the shoulder and we left.
