Re: Family during a loss...
My dad has slowly been removing things from his parents house.
He showed me on the last trip, now this is trivial but all Oma's kitchen spoons spatulas flippers and gadgets like that he pulled from her house. Dad says that my step mother wants to make her kitchen antique. Okay antique or not I remember the spatula she makes mashed potatoes with the flipper she would serve torte with, and everything else. WTF

Just ridiculous.
Then he called me (dad) asap I think when he found out about OPA. I waited all day Tuesday for funeral information and NOTHING. His appointment was at 12 in the afternoon. When did I get a call? 6:50 am when I needed to go to work on Wednesday. Says he was busy with other calls.
Pat the dreaded step mother has the nerve to tell me that oh just a couple pictures will be fine you dont have to make any collages.

My decision right?
Oh and there is no funeral dinner... They are putting out Trays at the funeral home to snack on! Money is not an issue but GD show some respect. At least this is how I feel.
