I just learned that my father died in March of 2018.

We'd been estranged since February of 1986 and hadn't seen each other or spoken since then. I had recently found out that his brother died in September of last year and I was curious. I finally looked at my equally estranged brother's Facebook page and found the information there.

Don't get me wrong, my father was a lying and philandering rat bastard of a human being. I do not mourn, per se, butI am saddened by the end of the life of a parent, lying shit that he was. He was not a good husband, father or person. He did, however serve his country honorably and bravely in WWII and the Korean War and for that I give him credit. He was a bombardier was nauseous every time he went up in his plane but did his duty and did it well while being shot at by the very same Nazis that Donald Trump refers to as "fine people."

No condolences are needed as he hasn't been a part of my life since 1986. I just felt a need to share. Thank you for reading.
