So, my half-siblings decided not to call any of their half-siblings from either of dad's two other families when he died; well, like Forest says in the TV version of Forest Gump, "it happens."
I heard from my friend Emmett in NJ; he said the same thing happened when his mother died in New Orleans, his half sister did not call and he did not find out for nearly two years; he said he was estranged from both of them and it also had to do with money. In my case, i'm sure money had a lot, if not everything, to do with the decisions they made.
Until i decided to write about my father's death, i had not thought about my half- siblings for years. It was just another of life's unreasonableness visited upon me.
Compared to seeing what life did to my mother by way of cancer, i can almost say: what these kin did was merely a lack of courtesy.
