a last wish fulfilled...

one Mitch Zannette,a life long fan of Dale Earnhardt,Sr was in hospice earlier last week,had hours,maybe a week to live,and he decided not to die in hospice,so he and his family took a week's worth of pain pills,and drove down to Daytona,to fullfill his last wish:to go see the Daytona 500... he got down to see Danica Patrick win the pole position,got past the security guards,made friends,and was comfortably sipping soda,and hot chocolate trackside,when his family found him... he lived in Pen Argyl,Pennsylvania,and had a total room dedicated to Earnhardt,Sr,at his house... he died trackside,shortly before the Sprint Unlimited,the first race of Speed Week... to his family,i give my prayers,and condolences,but honestly,i am happy that Mitch got to fulfill his last wish,period...
