My dad just called and said he did something stupid. He gave somebody my phone number.
A year ago, I gave my brother’s eulogy in front of some 200 people. Several people came up to me after to say what a nice job I had done and I thought they were all full of shit since I just made it up on the spot.
Today, my dad calls to say that an old family friend had called him. She said she had a “leech” of a brother who lived next door and she couldn’t stand him. But after hearing what I said, she told my dad I literally “changed her life.” Now she has a whole new perspective on life.
Apparently one of her friends recently lost a brother (keep in mind these people are my parent’s age) and to get some perspective, these two women want to talk to me on the phone. Because I’m now the Dead Brother sensei.
The weirdest part is I have no clue what I said two change people’s lives.
