I demand this, that, and the other thing too....NOW! >

die

I bet Rey619MysterioSD didn't think this thread would get like this

I demand a job that I don't have to do anything but play and make alot of money $$$

father died yesterday, he was found dead in his bed, they think it happened while he
was sleeping. he didn't show up at work (he owned a taxi business which covered north
eastern maine area of maine) and didn't call in so one of the drivers went out to his
house on the lake and found him. he never got to meet his grand daughter which bothers
me more than anything, odd, but it does. he was more a friend than a father, him and my
mom split up when he got back from his second tour in vietnam and i was never around him
much. i've some memmories of when we were kids, but almost all memories are from being
older and hunting or fishing, or as an adult and going out drinking with some of his vet
friends that all got together on weekends for poker and stuff.

my brother, an uncle and aunt are already running around trying to get into the legal
stuff so they don't get screwed out of his estate. i just want me dad, the one I never got
to have and it seems everyone else wants to go through his stuff so they can take what they
want...

anyway... screw it, don't mean nothin

people are vultures

IP+, I feel your pain brother, my own father is doing a slow fade and he hasn't got much longer. I dread the call that I know is going to come any day now. He's on oxygen and can't do much except sleep a lot. My parents live in Virginia about 7 hours away from me so it's hard for me to get there much. The last time I saw him (at Christmas) he was looking really bad. He looked like he had aged another ten years since the last time I saw him (at Thanksgiving). You'll get through this IP, hang in there pal...

Really sorry to hear this IP+, The world really sucks huh?
Hang in there, time heals all wounds, atleast thats what they are saying.



Let us know when you are back.

Ah, parents....you cannot exist without them, but often you wish you could...

i would demand, but i forgot what the old lady told me to ask for.

paxx - my dad was much like yours, but being very successful and competent, he had no reason to call ever. as big a pain as it is to be used when convenient, i'm wondering if that's not better than not being needed at all.

It is odd how it works though if you look at it. I mean parents who are not parents and the children
growing up to be parents and if not 100% of the time, they do their best to focus as much as possible
at learning how to be the best parent they can be.

What I do find rather shocking is how many parents by lable only while a child is growing up decide
at some magical point in time later in life to attempt being a real parent. Then only to act as if
nothing was ever wrong with the past or as if the now adult child is supposed to just act as if it
was a TV existance at home growing up. I almost pity the mother and stepfather, her because she looks
for something that is not there and him because he has grown old and lonely. His own children will
have nothing to do with him unless they want something.

Well they made their choices in the past and will have to deal with the price in the present and
future.
