Boss told me to take the week off, I am no good to her as I am right now. Apparently my father's brother and sisters are handling the mortuary and helping my younger sisters pay off the outstanding mortgage balance.
Here is the kicker.
They wanted his motorcycles and guns among other things to sell to put towards the debt. I flatly refused as they were what he left behind specifically for me and my younger brother. My other siblings were to either keep the house and land, using it for a place to crash if needed or sell it and divide the profits among themselves. His family wants to one and done his cremation, I wanted to eulogize my father at a memorial. But no one is willing to help with it, and I have my hands full trying to help my sisters to get the debt transferred over to them. So I will spread a few of his ashes over the spot where we put some of her ashes next to her fathers grave.
My dad.
He was a big man, a fighter, and a teddy bear all rolled into one. He loved my mother, even though he was a true flirt. But he never crossed that line. He liked to joke with people, or if he sensed that they were in a bad mood, he would poke at them to get a rise out of them, to help them blow off that steam.
Him and my mother.
Were freaks. I found their sex dungeon in their basement. I always had thought that the basement was too small in their house. But this morning after cleaning it out of my stuff and some things I wanted, I was walking up the stairs, slipped on the third step and fell into what I thought was a wall. Turns out the wall is fake. Just two parts mocked up to look real. In it was proof that I inherited their freak genes. Swings, chains, clamps and other spicy things were on full display, right down to the Pillory facing a large mirror. My siblings and I are now traumatized orphans. I seen things in there that I had no clue about and I wondered about them.
But all in all, thank you all for the kind words and sympathies. I loved him dearly and he will be missed. I will post some of my favorite stories to my blog here soon. Right now I want to try to eat something and lay down. There is so much to do and I need to recharge before I tackle it.
