Paul learned he had a brain tumor when he was in his mid forties. While it seemed to come on suddenly, and all happen quickly, come to find out he was suffering the effects of the tumor months, maybe years before. The night before he had a stroke, he and I were at a laundromat. He was a big fan of taking the clothes out and putting them in a stand alone water extractor for an extra spin to get the clothes near dry. His face was red and he was so angry that a vein in his neck was bulging. He was telling me stories about his own father who he said embarrassed him after school by waiting at the bus stop for him and mocking him in front of the other children when he stepped off. "Imagine that!" he was saying, teeth clenched. "Can you imagine someone doing that to you?" It was as it is with any teenager and their parent, a vast land of misunderstanding between us. But, I woke up, in a sense, and said "Dad, I'm worried you are going to have a heart attack. you are so upset." I know now it was the brain tumor. That night, I am not sure how it happened, but he was rushed to the hospital after falling or fainting and he couldn't wake up. My father or stepmother told my younger brother who lived with them not to tell my sister or myself what happened. Why, I'm not sure. See that was how it was for us, my father and his wife, and my mother, and their families did cruel things to their children, just like my father had described in his own life. So, my brother kept it secret when we called or asked to talk with Dad. Soon, my father and his wife and his mother began saying that my sister and I only called to ask for money and that became the excuse for not letting us speak with our father. Soon, though, it couldn't be kept secret much longer because what had happened was a serious illness had descended on us, and cursed my father's health and life. A brain tumor, it is life altering and one by one all of the adults began to recoil and see this reality, this terminal illness reality, as belonging to them and effecting their emotions. As was the case in our family, the children's feelings and emotions and needs were sublimated and in their place the adults' own desires and unmet needs took shape. My father's mother told us that it was our fault, that always complaining had caused my father's brain tumor. His wife was worse and she shuttled him here and there and as his condition worsened she intervened and refused to let us speak to him or see him. She stealthily moved into his hospital room one day, just a few months before he died. She had papers the lawyer had given her --she placed a pen in my dying father's hand and told him to sign. And, there in hardly legible chicken scribble was a signature that gave her all of his money, property and possessions. She tried, as best she could, to take our father from us--to literally take him from us. She didn't want any evidence and she wanted to make true what she and my father and his family said: we were bad, we caused this, we killed him. On the day of his death she called us. We had no idea he was near death because whenever any of us called she would hang up on us. When we called our grandmother, his mother, she would hang up too. By then, my born again Christian relatives had him wrapped up in hands with prayers around him while my step mother conned them all into thinking she was an angel by his bedside. On the day he died, she called each one of us and said "your father is dead, a check will be in the mail. You are not welcome at the funeral." We were going to go any way. We were just going to show up--and how strange that would have been, because we were the offspring of my father we knew the man who read Kurt Vonegut, and The Monkey Wrench gang. We knew the man who made our science projects out of chemicals he brought home from the lab. We knew the bicycle rider, and the hippie, and the often hot tempered father and husband. Instead, they had turned him into someone else in those last years. They turned him into a soldier, a marksman. They turned him into a conservative, God-fearing man. I sometimes wonder if he had lived, what would our conversations have been? Sometimes my own child asks for a picture of him or a picture of me with him, but those don't exist. Instead I tell her about the joke he used to tell in the car when we would go on road trips. He would say "I'm Fred Farkle, my wife Freita Farkle, My daughters Fiona Farkle, and Fanny Farkle and my son, Fred Farkle Jr." It really wasn't that funny, but I can't think of it without smiling.
