He then decided to phone me to tell me, he decided he'd to do all the funeral him self i offered but told heal do it, i kept going to see him check he was OK there was also his mum and dad two minutes away i was checking on them as well, (I'm married with three step children eldest 18 all at home) Mrs just getting over gangrene of the bowel and struggling to get about father kept phoneing up for me to go see him, then he comes to see us and starts saying have got my mother's watch he cannot find it i tell him i haven't got it in end he goes off moaning, couple of weeks later i get a letter from my step sister (my father married twice) saying did like the gifts from my mum and the money, i got nothing and it was my mother, then he comes and tells me that he's moving in with my sister in a granny flat and he wants every thing we got from my mother to give to my step sister, we had nothing anyway then he tells me I've got to keep looking after family graves which i already do and grandma and pa, father died two years later all i got was a letter saying he'd gone and is being brought up to me to go in with mum everything wants sorting out i sorted it,., sorry for the long rant i had to let of a bit of steam
