'Do something with your life.' He yelled, and then reminded me. 'I came from nothing and worked to become a multi millionaire.'
I shrugged.
'Your sister sponsors two foundations, you should too.'
I had a business. It was selling drugs to all my rich friends, I was making a shit ton of money. I just couldn't tell him.
I met my 'partners' that night at the new hospital being built. We argued about some missing cash.
I began chuckling, as the cement poured over me. My father got his wish, I was now part of a foundation.

Twas a Cold Winter Eve
Bacon sizzled in the background, and steam swirled from the untouched coffee cups between the elderly couple. Most observers would hardly notice the stoic couple sitting in the Bleecker Street diner where they had first met forty years earlier. Surrounded by Christmas décor, carols thrummed through speakers mounted in the ceiling. Bing Crosby yodeled White Christmas as large snowflakes fluttered to the ground outside.

My Surprise
I was fourteen that summer, and it had been five years since I had last seen him. Meeting with him again had not been my idea, but my grandmother's. She had planned it as her little "surprise." But it hadn't seemed like such a good one at the time. In fact, the whole scenario had struck me with such discord, that even now, some fifty years later, I care very little for surprises. They are to me, just neatly wrapped packages of deceit bestowed upon the unwilling. They are the gift bearer's way of manipulating or controlling the receiver. In short, I do not trust surprises!
