You guys are good to me! All of your comments are so sweet.
Karen/Sentinel, I can't believe your mom did that to you! How terrible! I called my grandmother (non JW) a few weeks ago to see how she was and she told me that she had been in the hospital for surgery and had just gotten home. I was furious that my dad hadn't called me! I made sure that she knew I would have been there had I known. She said that she'd tell my dad herself that my feelings were hurt. I think that made a difference for my uncles passing. I would like to think that he would have called anyway but I'm sure my grandma had something to do with it too. She would make sure that I knew. She's taking it pretty hard, my uncle was her middle son.
I really appreciate the love that I'm getting today from you all. Thanks bunches!! ((((((forum))))))
