One sign of a good man


As Darrell's abilities began to wane he was still able to drive until about a year or so ago. Many of those with his disease cause problems when they are told not to drive. Not Darrell.
 He would take us for rides in the country once or twice per week and he did all right but I could tell he was not as able to react as quickly. 
 One nice day he and I were going to go for one of our rides and he headed around the lake for the west gate. He came to the stop at Constitution, hesitated, then went on around the lake back to his home. He never asked to drive again. He knew. He wanted one last trip around the lake he loves before handing off the keys. It was heartbreaking. This is a terrible disease.
