We left one state and needed to travel through two more to get back in time to have dinner with Dad at the Veteran's Home. When we saw Dad on our way out of state a few days earlier, we told him that we would try to be back in time to have dinner with him at the Veteran's Home that evening.
Knowing Dad, he forgets the words "try to" and thinks it's a promise and is crushed if anything keeps it from happening. We try very hard to not disappoint Dad, so we tried everything we could to make it back in time for dinner with Dad. We had even packed PB and J sandwiches for both of us, because it saves at least an hour of time not having to order, wait for the order, eating, and then paying for the food.
We got there in time to have dinner with Dad. Yeah! We had a wonderful evening. Dad was upbeat and it was wonderful.
