I just spoke to someone whose brother is fighting for deadlef. The younger brother who is fighting for his share of the house already has a beautiful house. If the house is sold so the younger brother gets his share, then the rest of the family cannot afford to purchase a new house.
That reminds me of another issue where a father and his son living with him were about to lose their house because the father had used the house as collateral to fund the eldest son's school fees. The eldest son disappeared overseas after graduating, and he could not be found. I mentioned the story on air, and a listener called me afterwards and told me that she was sure she knows the son.
The eldest son was living in Manhattan in a lovely house, and he was on a tour of duty in the Middle East. I tracked him down, and he was in a state of shock when I called him about the loan his father had borrowed to pay his school fees. He asked, "How did you get my number?"
I threatened him and told him that if the funds were not paid within the next week and his father and brother were thrown on the street, I would inform his superiors. The funds were paid the next week. His younger brother did not even call to tell me thanks.
The gentleman with whom I was speaking tonight, said he had a story to tell me. He said a man died, and he directed his doctor, his pastor, and his lawyer to put all his money into the coffin with him.
The doctor made sure to tell the pastor and the lawyer that he put all the money he owed the man in the coffin, and he held back USD 100,000 because he had a patient who needed an operation, and the patient could not afford the cost.
The pastor said he had to confess also that he knew some people who had captured a piece of land, and they needed to move. He took back USD 50,000 from the grave out of the funds that were buried with the man.
The lawyer very quietly said to them, "You are all very dishonest men. I took all the funds that were left on the coffin, and I wrote a cheque for the full amount and placed it on top of the coffin.
The man who had died thought that the deadlef was safe with him, but when he reaches heaven or hell, he will realize that we all have to go one day, and we have to deadlef, di deadlef.
Editor's Note
When I wrote this story, I remembered that lovely former head of the Students Loan Bureau, Monica Brown.
