There were 5 items that my father carried with him from his old life with my Mom after they divorced. I watched them all be auctioned away online after his death to various people. Things he stole from family members and denied—- a wooden cow’s head that I remembered really stood out. I showed Mom the photo and she told me how she bought that with her own money when they honeymooned in Niagara Falls— she was pregnant with me at the time in ‘73. It was strange how he kept it from our first home—- 35 some years later—- how it traveled to Indiana and now— who knows. I think I’ve had the most difficult time with seeing this secretive man’s life exposed—- for anyone to see—- even down to his shoes and bathroom items— a whole lot that was just a junk drawer—- these are the last memories of him I have— all the money went to a church, claiming he had no children. His house also went to auction on August 11th. That’s the end. I’m so curious about the new life they will have and pissed off about it too. There’s no resolution.
