Happens in all families, wife was estranged from one of her sisters. Her old Aunt who raised them when her Mother died and Father Skidalled got flooded for Kitrina wife and I were the only ones to hump up and throw out all her belongings that were destroyed. I asked the old aunt if she would like to come and stay with us, she jumped on it. Later a FEMA trailer was available and for her privacy spotted it behind my old house, wife cooked her meals every day, I would take her underneath the old Oak tree and talk abut old times every day.She passed away and the rest of the family who had never visited only wanted what she had which was very little. She willed everything to my wife, lots of long faces. When they brought her to the Cemetry I figured they would dig the hole that day and bury her, but NO she was on a pallet awaiting the final burial, I saw they were digging for a Prominent MuckyMuck and approached the digger man, asked why wasn't my wife's aunt first, he said Bossman said him first. I told him I"ll give you 200$ if you dig after you're finished with him. Went back to truck, wife silently weeping and told her we"ll put her in the ground today. He finished and brought his rig over, I spotted for him, a driving rain came on us and he wanted to know if I wanted to stop, told him I"m an old UDT man and water don't bother me. You've got givers and takers in life and I want to be in the givers group as it is less crowded. You don't owe Family anything but respect and a helping hand, if you get neither F>#K EM.
