So weird. And rude I think.

So SS calls DH today and told him that he heard a song called "the truck" I think. It was about a guy that rides around in his dead brothers truck. (or dad) I'm not too sure.

Anyway, he told DH that he wanted DH's truck when DH dies so that he can ride around in it and remember him.

Ok...I am sorry, but that is just weird to me.

I don't care if he wants SS to get his truck...it is just crazy to me that SS is already picking out what he wants of DHs when he dies, and DH is not even 47!!

SS13 said something like that

SS13 said something like that recently to DH, he wanted DH's SUV when he passed to remember him by. Ummmm, right. It's my SUV and SS13 is not getting it.

And DH is so proud that SS

And DH is so proud that SS wants his truck.

I am just skeeved out by this.

I'm going through this now with my brother. He wants me to sign a document that he'll get my parents house and live it in it. With the ploy of "keeping it in the family". I'm not responding because I think it is VERY selfish of him to think this while my father is still alive. FFS....he is so selfish.

I've reminded him that the will states something completely different.

Very rude! It all comes back

Very rude! It all comes back to that feeling of entitlement I'm sure.
Sorry Willow, a little OT here but can you do me a big favor? Can you try to get the name of the song (I googled "The Truck" and the only one that came up was a Tim McGraw one and I can tell by the lyrics it isn't the one you're talking about) or do you remember any of the lyrics so I can find out the name of the song?
The reason I ask is because I'm actually in the middle of fixing up my son't truck for my daughter right now.
My son and daughter were the best of friends. My son died a year ago in February and my daughter would really like to have his truck but it needs work. I just want to hear the song you are mentioning to see if it would be appropriate to give to DD when we give her the finished truck.
I thank you and appreciate any clues you can give me.

And just wanted to add that

And just wanted to add that my daughter didn't ask or insist that she should get his truck but I know it would mean a lot to her.

It's "I Drive Your Truck" By

It's "I Drive Your Truck" By Lee Brice. I included a link to it below.

ETA: Darn, click save and 3 other people have answered it

Just wanted to let ya'll

Just wanted to let ya'll know, it actually is about a father driving his son's truck. Either way, it is a wonderful song about remembering a lost loved one.

Source: Wikipedia Co-writer Connie Harrington was inspired to write it after hearing an interview on Here and Now of a father, Paul Monti, whose son, Medal of Honor recipient Jared, was killed in Afghanistan while trying to save a fellow soldier. In the interview he states that he drives the truck to feel close to his son.[1] [2][3]

Found it!...."I drive your

Found it!...."I drive your truck" by Lee Brice.

I am so sorry for your loss!!

It's 'I'll drive your truck"

It's 'I'll drive your truck" by Lee Brice. And yeah, it's the kind of thing that would be perfect for what you described.

ETA whoops! Willow got it.

One of my best friends asked

One of my best friends asked if she could have a blown glass figurine of mine when I die. I told her I would leave it for her in my will.

It's weird. You are right.

How old is your SS? Not that

How old is your SS? Not that it matters, the death of a parent is not something most people daydream about nor should they announce their wish list.

When my niece was 8 or 9, we were talking about death and she mentioned that if her mom dies (my sister) she would be ok because she has me and I'm like a mom to her. I don't think she would be ok at all, I just don't think the idea of her mom dying is really real to her. That that would be it, she would never see her mom again. Ever.

I don't think kids really comprehend the death of a parent, however, I don't think my niece is putting her name on my sister's stuff.

My SS is 20. lol StepX2..I

My SS is 20. lol

StepX2..I will find it.

Well, that is kind of rude of

Well, that is kind of rude of a 20 year old. I guess you had to be there, maybe he was just being sentimental.

I know that song well. It

I know that song well. It reminds DH of his Uncle (still living) and afterward he said he wished he could get Uncle's truck when Uncle dies because that's what he'd best remember him by. I'd recommend listening to the song.

It's actually very sweet. IMHO of course.

I like the song...it actually

I like the song...it actually made me tear up thinking about stepX2 giving her sons truck to her DD.

i love that song ^_^ how's

i love that song ^_^

how's his relationship w/ DH? if it's good, i'd think of the sweet part of the sentiment. i agree, it's definitely weird, but kind of sweet that he associates the truck as a part of your DH that he feels attached to.

unless they're not on good terms- then that's just freaky morbid....
