Three Days Before the Casket Was Delivered, My Son Asked Me to Sign a Document

“I was just trying to see my granddaughter.”

“Pastor Dan called me this afternoon,” Julian said.

“He said you’ve been leaving messages at the church office.

He asked whether you were okay.”

I didn’t answer that.

The radiator ticked.

“Give me the bond,” he said.

“I’ll pay you back after the first of the year.”
