Should I write (monetize) about my experience?
My ex neighbor died, and left me everything. And I'm thinking about writing about it.
See, he was a wild man in the 80s and 90s and even he admitted "lie with dogs, get fleas" And he was right, his poor choices are what did him in. However, when my husband and I moved in next to the family a few years back he was much older and the family had recently exploded with tragedy. I was amused by his shenanigans and he was drawn to my husband who is his opposite, cool calm and collected.. we then a few months later gave him grace when it mattered. He never forgot it. BUT..... Is there family you ask? Yes they are the neighbors and it's old family land. And Yes. There is a lot more to that story.
This is wild from past to present... And I'm not sure where it's going from here. The estate is modest but life changing for my family of 5 who grew to love his crazy ass over the last 10 years (6 as neighbors). I think people would find this story fascinating, I think there is a good lesson in it. But, I want to keep some level of privacy.
What do you suggest???
A book? Blog? I want to keep some privacy.
Would anyone even want to hear about this?
Oh, one more thing... I buried him at home in a pine box, because he asked.
