“She goes on specifying who she wants to give her things to, there’s a list I'll spare you, and then an invitation list with phone numbers. I'll deal with it after I leave here.

I wanted to give you the news personally,” Gideon stopped and waited for a response from Dan.

Dan rubbed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, “It’s weird, you know?”

“What’s weird?” Gideon wondered, and thought, What’s not weird about this situation?

“It’s weird that Mom and Dad are buried in Yarkonim Cemetery, and Flora in some left-winged hippy shit-hole, it’s weird!”

Gideon smiled in sadness, “There is a reason for that!”

“And what’s the reason?” asked Dan.

“You’re the reason!”

“Me? What do I have to do with this?” asked Dan, almost angry, his nerves were so taut that it didn’t require a lot to snap him completely off balance, and Gideon felt that and took no offence from the response.

“Well, when your mom died, your dad bought a joint burial plot in the Yarkonim Cemetery, with a clear intent to be buried next to his wife.

He loved your mother a lot, I'm sure you know that. So, at the time, he didn’t dream of falling in love and getting married again and I'm pretty sure he wouldn’t do that if it wasn’t for Flora.

But he met her, and she blinded him with her joy and colorfulness, and the rest is history.

When he got sick, the issue about the burial came up again, he told me that he told Flora that he’ll buy a joint burial plot for both of them, next to your mom, because he didn’t want to let Flora feel as if she’s number two to your mom.

Flora completely refused and said that your mom and dad need to be buried together, to let you come visit them and feel connected with them, the two people who gave life to you.”
