Preparing to make my Thanksgiving cards. I will have to make more than the 6 that I made for Brendan, Connor, Dylan, Anna (Matthew and Heathers Children:, and Katelyn and Emily (Amy and Shanes twins. I WAS ORDERED OVER ABOUT 9 YEARS AGO BY MARK TO NEVER HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH THEM AT ALL. Of course, I have no idea at this time whether Matthew and Heather and Shane and Amy even give these cards to their kids. However, again since I cannot make anything out of wood--like their step-father can--I will continue to do this as this and the once ability to sew and make things for them was to be the legacy I left for them. From what Amy and Matthew both said to me, I know the kilts, blouses, shirts, etc. that I made all of their kids win which it took me five months to make the patterns, to cut the material to sew to make them, which took me over 5 months were all thrown away as they could care less about their Scottish heritage. One would never know the man hours I put in to making the kilts : Also, I have divided up various genealogical info and pieces-such as a Stetson stove top hat made in 1838 in England and in mint condition that I gave to Mark an an antique table--needless to say, they are worth a lot of money, but I had never seen them when I, at one time, was allowed to visit them. Nor do I know where all of that genealogical data, sterling silverware, 4 oval pictures of our ancestors, a pewter pitcher, and a humped back cedar chest that Amy was given. She was the one who was the administrator of my estate at the time. One of the reasons they told me that they could care less about their Scottish heritage is that they know that my entire planned funeral is based totally on that in which my obit is written, the total service is planned, and I have had my headstone set for years. In m obit no the advice of my attorney the obit will say, The beloved father of Amy, Matthew, and Mark. They have no idea that that is exactly what is written on my tombstone set in our lots in Pierpont Evergreen Cemetery. Regarding pallbearers in my funeral, Matthew, Mark, and then Shane will have the option of being one. However, if they refuse it then goes to three of my nephews--sons of Robert, Donna, and Arlene. Of course, if they do not wish to be a pallbearer no one will prohibit them from attending my service. Of course, I have had three grand-daughters born and was never told--Marks two and Anna who is Matthews daughter. At least none of the cards are returned. However, I have a friend and all of his were. Now that his daughter is older, they met. She said, Why did you never make any effort to get in touch with me? He handed the box of cards he had saved. Someone told me that I should continue to sew for them and give them to them when they were older--the problem there is that I would not know the correct size by then. :(
