I've felt kind of rotten lately. I'm definitely not getting my dad's car now. He specifically told me he wanted me to have it if he died, and now I'm not getting it. Worse than that, the condo he left my brother and I is going to have to be sold. He bought it a few years ago and spent his every free moment working on it to turn it into his dream. It was one of the only things that made him happy these last few years and he put it in a trust so that it would go directly to my brother and I, and now I'm going to have to sell it in a shitty real estate market. I'm fairly certain that even after all the work he did it will end up selling for about what he bought it for. After paying off the debt on it, splitting it with my brother and taxes, I'll be left with very little to show for selling off what was supposed to be his legacy to us, but I can't afford to keep it. So in short I'll be left with none of the things he wanted me to have and very little to show for it. It makes me feel, quite frankly, like a bad son.
