The Best Things He Ever Did (Patreon)
Content
My sister and I saw my father's grave for the first time yesterday. She was with him when he died but neither us was invited or involved his funeral. We were entirely excluded the moment he passed.He was a bad man and he and his family caused us an irreparable amount of harm but he loved us in his own fucked up way. My sister Xena and I were closest to him and wanted to see his grave not realizing doing so would make us feel worse than we already did about the situation. We stood there uncontrollably sobbing for 30 minutes until I realized the two saint medals on the stone had been glued there, likely by members of our awful family. Then I got angry and then I got this idea.His 6 children are the best thing he ever did and I've put so much work into keep us together and safe and we've all come out pretty decently. We all love one another so deeply despite his and the family's best efforts to destroy that. We should be how he should be remembered and yesterday I made sure of that when I gorilla glued our laminated pictures and his grandchild's to his grave.His family will undoubtedly scape them off (and let me tell you, they're gonna have a helluva time trying to) but it made me and my sister feel so much better. We're thinking of making it ritual to update the pictures every two years.
