Honor Thy Father
“Years ago, worked in a retirement community. Older man we knew was gay developed a late in life relationship and moved into the community with his gay lover. He was a Korea vet, multiple honors, a wall of medals. He was also a bit of an asshole most days, but he had moments over a meal, his stories were fantastic. His children over three years never once visited him. He had a heart attack and knew he was going to die. His children showed up but demanded his lover leave for visits. In his will he left everything to his lover and his lover’s one child from a former marriage. He wrote a long note about his kids hypocrisy of not visiting, and their attitudes toward his lover. He left each of his two kids a pail of coal ash, to be deducted from his estate, had his estate pay for his lovers plot to be next to him and his wife. It was frankly awesome hearing his kids blow up about it.” – jpebcac
