Dear readers, Dick was my maternal grandpa, Richard Erwin Morehead. His nickname was Dick. My mom's mother, and his first wife, died around 1970, or before that. After that, he married Skip. I've talked to her a few times but it seems that Skip never liked me, Joseph Scott Arnold, the Original Oatmeal, born 1985, February 11, Monday, 6 AM PST apx, in Forest Grove, Oregon, United States. It seems that Skip doesn't like Christians. I'm speculating but I read an article that she probably wrote on the passing of Dick. We will assume that she wrote it. In the article, it talked about Dick's son, Brian, and his wife, Lori, their kids.
After that, she wrote that Dick had a daughter named Danese Ann Gordon (whom married Steve). But she was not his daughter by blood I don't think but rather by law. I think Danese was more a step daughter. These details matter to me to say the least. Steve was like a son to Dick, Skip wrote. Danese was probably a daughter of Skip. Danese probably came from Skip and her first husband. If not, then Danese came from Skip and Dick.
Skip wrote that Dick had two daughters. She wrote about my mother, Marilyn Kathleen Morehead, born 1951, July 3rd. She just wrote my mom's name but did not write the name of my father. After that, Skip wrote about my mom's sister, Karen Williams. After that, it mentioned that Karen's husband, Jimmy Gene Woof Williams died as well that same year of 2008. She just wrote that he died but she at least wrote his name but she didn't write about my family. It seems that Skip has problems with me and my family. It also seems that Dick had problems with my mom as well. I am not here to dwell in the past and to cry.
The moral of the story is to seek sympathy and empathy. We should try harder to understand others more and to care for each other more but I don't think Skip was doing that as much as she could have. Instead, Skip and Dick ridiculed and mocked my mother for her marriage to my father. My mother endured hardships and she was misunderstood. I understand some of it as I live in Vietnam in the year 2015. I came to Vietnam in 2012 and have been here for the past three years and it is interesting. Life is full of surprises. I appreciate my mother more as I grow older in experiences and trials.
Thanks for reading.
