Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

My dad told me straight up, none of us kids get a dime

I’m the executor, he wants it split up for the grandkids
He has step grandkids that he loves like they are blood and they love him back the same.

That’s his wishes and that’s what will happen

I have three grandpas
Pop pop (Dads dad) I knew and loved
Poppy, I didn’t know. He was my moms dad and was a loser and passed away young
Grandpa Newt (my moms moms second husband)

Newt treated my sisters and me like we were blood

Loved us unconditionally! I see our relationship the same way my dad loves his step grandkids

They love him the way I loved Newt

Hell, truth be told… I wouldn’t be the man I am today if it wasn’t for Newt helping to mold me into the man I am today!

We shared a birthday and we were pretty much best friends

He had a biological daughter and two step daughters.

On his deathbed, he pulled me into him and whispered into my ear “you always were my boy” and then passed (tearing up as I type this)

So I have NO problem carrying out my fathers wishes towards his step grandkids

My sister, she doesn’t understand it, feels his blood grandkids should inherit it all, but I know his heart and what is the right thing to do….

Newt was a good egg, always enjoyed talking with him and/or doing projects with him.

But he did challenge me a bit. My brother (Matt's Dad) was telling him how well I could drop trees, and we were at his house to drop one. So, he goes about 30' from the tree and said to me "drop it here" and hammered a tent peg halfway into the ground. Well, after the tree fell, he could not find the tent peg ... and I had his respect after that!

I thought he was hard to talk to, at least with that a cutter would have a chance lol.
Nice job .
