Hey swan..
You got me thinking and trying to figure family out who are still J.W.'s
But you know what.. I still can't figure them out.
I was d'fd 10 years ago and most of my family have had absolutely no contact since then.. you know the shunning thing.
Anyways, I always wondered what I might do if my mother died while we seem to be in this impassable state of not talking to each other...or god forbid .. if I should die.. or one on my kids..
Would or should I attend her funeral.. or would she attend mine.. or would I be annoyed if she showed up if another one of my kids died...
Well.. maybe you have answered that for me in this post or how weird they can be.
Plus.. a few months back. my mothers' sister's husband died... That would be her brother in law.. She did not go to the funeral and did not call her worldly sister...through all of that..
She did go back and visit her a couple weeks after it was all over to shove some magazines at her..
She told her that she never visited them while her brother in law was alive so didn't feel it right to attend the funeral...
So I guess that will apply to me and her grandchildren..
She never visits us while we are alive so .. I guess she won't come to any of our funerals.. if we die before her..
Sobering thought.. and it hurts...(but I guess that means she wouldn't want me to be at her funeral either)...since I don't go to visit her..
Gee's I hate that J.W. religion.. It really turns people into doing unnatural things. Backward things.
I am sorry your family is screwed up too... but maybe we have to learn to expect nothing from them.. not even the basic kind consideration that all people are due.
sincerely
Special K
