I’m reporting the event my beloved father-in law reported. 72 year old Malle with one previous MILD heart attack. As a large family we were meeting at a resort for the first grandchild to be married. On the drive to the resort my father-in-law (FIL) reported to a very close family member who was sharing the ride w them ( who later shared it w us) that he had a dream the night before. In the dream he was standing in a large room filled w light and many many beds. In the room was a woman standing who said to my FIL that they were waiting for him he reported that he wasn’t ready. He didn’t think the dream was particularly strange he just wanted to share it w his lifetime very close friend. I didn’t know about this until after his death. What I did notice that day that my FIL WHO WAS ALWAYS in the middle of all social events ( people really enjoyed that man and his grandchildren ADORED HIM) was always standing outside of the group at one point not even entering the condo we were staying in but outside the door. After lunch we had decided to ask the resort to move my in-laws to the condo next to us rather than down the mountain. After much discussion he decided to drive down the mt and make the request. He asked our 14 year old daughter to accompany him. As the two approached the car he stopped and handed our daughter the keys and said let’s start teaching you how to drive( he had always promised her he would be the one to teach her and then she could drive his sporty little car that was home in their garage. They made the trip safely in his rather large Cadillac which to this day still makes my heart flutter w the idea of this small young girl driving a large car up and down those hills. They returned and all the boys proceeded to go golfing. My FIL arrested on the fourth hole leaving his two sons and 3 grandsons to due cardiac resuscitation to no avail. I believe my FIL knew it was coming and some how managed to wait until his children were together as one large supportive group. Side note our 11 year old kept asking us were he died and we kept replying at the golf course. He finally managed to get us to understand he was asking for where on the golf course and my husband said he had just teed off to which our son replied that THAT WAS sad. E cause he would have preferred to be on the green. I have always believed my FIL wanted to complete The ONE TASK HE HAD PROMISED OUR DAUGHTER.
