This morning is my dad's funeral. Afterwards, my stepmother will be burying him in Wilmington. This will be the first time I can remember that she has done something to him that I strongly disapprove of. Dad lived his whole life in Blanchester. He was mayor. He ran his business there, and helped many others to start theirs there as well. He was always working to patronize local businesses. Yesterday about 500 people came to his visitation. The vast majority were from Blanchester. I don't think he would want to be taken away from this town that he worked his whole life to support.
The funeral is over and now I understand now why Wilma wanted to bury dad in Wilmington. The grave site is in the same plot as Angie, my step sister, and Robbie, my step brother. Dad and Angie and Robbie were her family. Regardless of what dad was to Blanchester, he was Wilma's husband.
