I guess I will also share this even though it is slightly off topic. When my dad died I was in charge of the finances. I noticed that he was sending about 24 thousand a year to my Grandmother who, to put it lightly, did not need it. So I called her and asked about it.

That is when I found out that I have a Japanese sister. My Dad was stationed in Japan when in the Army and knocked some local girl up. When he was dating my Mom. He left at the end of the deployment and never went back. But sent money every year and my Grandma sent 100 grand when he died. She was essentially laundering money to protect my Mom. Ugh
