#my grandpa ended up lying on work documents so he could help feed the family

[apollolewis]

Most of my dad’s side of the family is dead, both my grandparents died before I was born and my aunt died of polio when she was a kid. But I have quite a bit of cousins in Oklahoma that was unknown for a long time. My great grandfather had left my great grandmother and started a new family there. Really shitty behavior there. Not the craziest story about him, up until a few years ago we didn’t even have a photo of his face because my great grandmother scratched it out in almost every photo.
