But he left all his jewelry and mementos also to my son. My mother survived him but, as she had never worked, she went along with this. I still am on good terms with my son and his children. I could sure use some of my dad's funds now, so I could go into a reasonable retirement home in a desirable location.
But I am not starving and have a roof over my head. It does hurt, though.
