My Dad Started Charging Me $250 a Month for My Room When I Turned 18 — Five Years Later, After His Funeral, His Best Friend Handed Me a Box
Walter’s ledger showed Frank had never missed a month.
He kept paying even when he stopped buying equipment.
Walter asked him once why he was holding on to the unit when he could sell half the contents and recover some of his costs.
Frank said he was not ready to give up the space.
He never said it was meant for his son.
Not once.
I spent years asking him to take my music seriously.
He would not explain what he was doing, and he would not tell me where my guitar had gone.
