ok very embarrasing story… when i was a teenager, my grandmother passed away. My dad wasn’t particularly close to his mother, or to his kids either, so we had not seen her a lot lately. She was in a nursing home and last time i saw her pretty doped up (not their fault – she had her friends bringing her extra painkillers, unfortunately had been addicted for some time).
(oh, and everyone was worried about me, our mom had passed away a couple years earlier and i didn’t do so well at hers). we got there and i hung at the back wondering why i recognized NOBODY. But everyone was very nice and sympathetic and…
We were at the wrong viewing, which explains why she looked so good. yikes.
we did make it to the (right) funeral.
I don’t know who gave the funeral info to my older sisters. Could have been Dad. Wonder if it was his wife (who really doesn’t want us to exist so wouldn’t have missed us much that day). (and you may have guessed by now, we weren’t living with Dad).
Families can be weird….
