M...We have no contact with his first two children. Mr. Ralph and son have been estranged for 20 years. Daughter played that to the hilt, loving being in the middle of it all. She came for a last visit .... wanting Mr. Ralph to call Mike and make amends. I'm grateful he had his wits about him (if not his body) to tell her YES! Have him call me! She sputtered that HE had to take the first step. He said I've had the same phone number for 50 years and the same address until just a couple of years prior. So Mike knows how to contact him, he does not know how to contact Mike.<br /><br />The whole trip seemed to boil down to "are you going to acknowledge us with some $$$$$" And haven't heard from her since .... as the answer was no, everything to my wife until the end or her life.The Awkward Widowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729456066739275695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764389163852345785.post-65401885423193357812015-08-02T09:44:51.328-07:002015-08-02T09:44:51.328-07:00Nope.

I must say that I have a penchant for crazies. There's something about them. Maybe that's because I'm Southern. We're almost proud of our crazies. Loved this post.
