Heir apparent
My uncle called me yesterday to tell ask me if I would handle his funeral arrangements. Or at least that's the gist of what I think he wants me to do. He's the one who's step son drowned a few weeks ago. I feel kind of weird being picked for this job, and I hope that's all it is. I don't want to be the person in charge of his estate, mostly because he's actually still married, and I don't want to be in the middle of some big fight. I don't know what he's going to leave his grand kids, given the state of things. But I think his wife might fight anything like that, or if not her, then her remaining son who stands to inherit everything, and who's a momma's boy as far as I can tell. He has no kids by the way, so unless he marries, I guess his estate would eventually go to his nephew's anyway, if he hasn't used it all up by then.
But back to my Uncle, I love him, he's a dear old Yankee, even though he was city born. I just hope this doesn't get too complicated. I also hope it doesn't mean he's giving up on life. You know how these old Yankees get. He might just pack it in and take an iceberg out into the lake and... well, you get the idea. He aint young anyway, so I guess like anyone, he could go anytime.
