My Brothers and I Found Out Dad Had Already Been Buried but What Happened at His Second Memorial Left Us Speechless
Pen Fourteen Part One: The Parking Lot I found out in a parking lot. It was a Thursday in late October, a little after four in the afternoon. I was at the MFA feed store in Clinton, Missouri, loading two sacks of mineral into the back of my truck. The wind was coming hard out of the northwest, the first real cold of the year, and the sky had that low gray look that means sleet by morning. I had one sack on my shoulder and one in my arms when somebody said my name. “Troy? Troy Teague?” I turned…
