My friend Tom was very involved at the gun club. After he passed, some of his ashes were loaded into shotgun shells for a final "launch" at the gun club grounds.
It was nice ,calm day when his ashes were to be dispersed.
Some words were said and the first volley was shot. A few more stories were told and another volley.
A few more stories were told before the final volley. Unnoticed to us, the gentle breeze had shifted when the final volley was shot.
Tom's ashes drifted back on the folks who had attended. Knowing Tom, we figured he asked a "special favor" for the wind shift and was laughing like the Tom we knew and loved.
