Tab told Wyatt and me that he thought he was coming to the end. We talked about how he was going to get to see his Mom and all his siblings and family that had gone on before him. I told him he was going to be growing tomatoes for God and he smiled. Wyatt talked to him about his good memories tending tomatos and all Don's dogs running up and down the fence barking at them. Another smile. His relatives from Arkansas were on the way and he and I concentrated on getting a glass of milk down to give him strength for the upcoming visit with them. I am so glad we were able to see him and spend that special time with him.
