preposterous request, her family embarked on a journey to fulfill her wish, which will be marked by negative life changing events all in order to meet the needs of Addie who will never know if those desires have been met. While the decision to travel to Jefferson was quite irrational, it is what the family does along the expedition to Jefferson that truly makes them fools.
