Family Life

Harry rang me this morning, and informed me that "Christine had died!", Christine who? I thought for a moment, he's obviously a little upset, is this some girlfriend of his?.. I can't remember anybody called Christine in his life?, Christine who? I replied, It turned out to be my Ex Mother in Law.
When a native Navajo Indian knows their going to die, they walk off into the woods. Naturally I have not spoken to her in years, she was in a lot of ways quite a sad character, lived on her own in a cold terraced house in 'Bournville', quite depressing really, like mother like daughter as the ex wife ultimately became the same. Like everybody in her family, not one of them was supportive during our divorce, so I frankly had no time for them, and neither do the kids, with the exception of course of Harry. As she passed on the fifth of this month, she's already been buried by now, and clearly the ex wife only even now deemed to inform Harry, enough said!?. So this is what they call family Politics?.
