Daddy’s Dying, Who’s Got the Bourbon? | My Southern Gothic Life

New Post up on my other blog:  MySouthernGothicLife.com.  Here is an excerpt with a link to the full post:

My Father died in the early 1980′s when he was about 54 years old.  Technically, the cause of death was cancer.  I always told people that, after more than 30 years with my Mother, I strongly suspected he really just really wanted some peace and quiet.

See, my Mother truly believed in “till death do you part.”  She even had some questions for our Pastor about if, perhaps, the marriage bonds extended into the afterlife.  I could never figure out if she was concerned with avoiding the effort of finding a new husband in Heaven or just trying to hang on to my Father forever.  Literally.
