More Money Matters

If only this could be settled by sending along a $2 bill, like the one that Becky Sigmon's dad gave her fifty years ago that still (in replica) sits folded, spindled and a bit mutilated in her wallet — although his love and wisdom remains in her heart and head.

Alas, not even a magic two-spot would pay the lawyers "helping" to an economic argument sure to be presented in various and differing judicial venues that involves a sperm-donating dad and a college bound eighteen-year-old who was raised a continent away by two lesbians.

The case being decided in the best interest of the dad and child? As they say in the New York where this all began with a friend deciding to help out a friend, "fuhgeddaboudit."

** Once again the lesson is that dad's money doesn't purchase love and dad's love can't beget money. **
