Last name is Dandy, first name is Dan. Dan had a little girl, she is around age fifty now. She is small but all grown up and used up most of her life. Dan Dandy has had a full life on easy street. A lot of it was spent in a college for bad people. He had started attending this “ah college” at a young age and has been back to it many times to continue his studies. Dan appears to be quite slow in learning things, and his down fall is from being overly smart. That is, he is smart in all the wrong things. No one really knew his age, but he is about leave the bonds of this earth and take his final journey
Dan’s mother was not interested in a family, she loved to play around and have a good time. The problem was, she was always getting pregnant and no two of her nine children had the same father. In fact, his mother had never given a name to any of her kids, She left that for the Welfare workers or who ever got to take care of them. They all drifted their own way and most likely never saw each other once they were removed from her care and placed in another home. Some probably had four or five different homes as they were growing.
Old Dan Dandy is now laying in a charity ward and has but a short time to live, Why he hadn’t thought about his daughter, had never made any attempt to see her again. No one knew. Now remembering his only child, he wants to see her before he passes away, He has no idea of where she is, perhaps no one knows. He had only seen her a couple of times when she was a youngster. But since he is near death, these people will do their best to locate her and tell her that her father is dying and wants to see her. Records of Fatherless and Motherless children were just not kept. The only way is to locate someone is by talking to people that may know some little thing about the person in question.
Dan Dandy was known by many people and while no one trusted him, most liked him. He wasn’t all bad, he just didn’t like to work for anything. When he had money in his pocket, he would share with friends. And he always appeared to have enough to make a good impression on people.
The word went out and a few days later, they had heard from a couple of people but they were given false leads. Then one day, two middle aged women came to see old Dan. They spoke, but old Dan wasn’t making much sense in what he mumbled to them.
That was when old Dan started his last journey. He had passed away, thinking his daughter was with him. After several months, someone that knew old Dan, came to this Charity ward and was asking some questions about old Dan, He told them that he may have information on Dan’s daughter, but the information was old.
Any way old Dan’s friend was curious and followed what he knew and was very surprised that it lead to Old Dan’s daughter. They talked and he told her that her father was dead, but that really wasn’t of interest to her.
She had married to a good man, had children of their own and were happy and content with their lives, Her husband was educated and a success in business. She was told nothing about old Dan’s past or that of her mother, brothers or sisters. The old friend decided that there was nothing to be gained by useless information. It turns out that the old friend was also a younger brother of
He had kept track of all in the family and no one else in that family every had the same knowledge that the brother did. Not one of the brothers and sisters ever amounted to anything and they had never showed any interest in family ties.
So ends another chapter on some one that never amounted to a hill of beans and was of no interest to anyone. They come and they go, if someone cared, they were lucky, if no one cared they were just like the hundreds of thousands of others that just faded out and no one even knew they were even here. It is better to have been shot at and missed, than not to have been shot at. at all!
