Pretty interesting ...
his will coming from a liquor store owner wants his appx. half million to go to the "solution to alcoholism". Right?!
That is telling.
I know Alcohol has been on my paternal side as a concern, but this is the first I saw it on my maternal side to be addressed
...because I did not know of any drinkers on the maternal side.
All I knew the farmers after a long hard day- 60 hours a week ---
working the farm - they may chug right before bed some blackberry brandy hidden under the veggie drawer in a brown bag or a tiny hot toddy hidden from wives and children.
No real presence of it in their daily all through day no presence of any alcohol just a sip to chug to help go to sleep.
Nowadays, we have the toxins like vaping--- so sad.
I know all the vapers are gonna be like I am in judgement mode...
Nope---but I am not...every generation has its toxicities.
I have brain tumors so when I see my Brain Specialists, I see images of what it does to the brain- it is a poison.
Went to the Supreme court- 3 years later.
This is awesome to see his [my great grand uncle who was adopted] funds still helps people since the 1960's:
I know a Vice President to a Company ...who right now ... should possibly do their will cutting family out of their will and do their will as my family member did--- will it all to "American Society for Addiction" ... look at what my family member who owned a long-time liquor store did as a legacy...nice. Look at how in the 60's, his death, still helps ...even today:
We all have a vice or a poison---mine is chips. :) and quality beef jerky...
...a three to five-month craving out of a year.
I pray about anyone who chooses to vape -
I am more acceptable to alcohol and smoking --- never done it myself but a few tiny social moments ---
but I do always seem to draw in the heavy smokers and medium to 'drunk as a skunk' sot spot ones to my life externally---
none, in my immediate area and probably because I saw my father do it so like it at a distance...
Let's look at my family's stance --- did they have legal rights to his Estate? Hard to dig into recent history--- I do not mind digging in the 1800's/ early 1900's but weird to go into the 40's until now... Feels invasive...
...but with my recent loss, I do feel the empty nest of it all...Miss ya, buddy.
We saw another twice a week.
My family knew him over fifty years.
I just miss being by the water.
His presence is missed dearly.
I guess I see alcohol and smoking differently...
like, I don't want it in my daily probably due to my health limitations ...genetically born with cirrhosis and other concerns...hemochromatosis...etc...
...but like I need that older father figure watching them doing it- I saw the happy drunk --- the very talkative one --- and the Jekyl/Hide ones. I am grateful for all the memories.
I almost wish I could make a profile online to say
"Seek male person [ just like a "token" friend - nothing more ] who likes pools / lakes...mountain views and drinks/smokes a lot to make up for my losses of watching such..."
I don't want it in my immediate daily-
possible twice a week ;)...for "nostalgia" ...I don't even want to talk much, just listen, and be by the water...I do miss it.
Anyway, it is what it is---
I would never make such profile.
Just missing the memories ...
I have good people in my immediate, and I know that was always not easy for them to watch that I drew and or was drawn to .... just that "kid" in me...
