Disgusted
I found out yesterday that my grandmother’s brother isn’t coming to her party. He never calls or sends cards to her, but keeps in touch with his other siblings and nieces or nephews. We thought if nothing else, he’d surely come to her 90th birthday. Nope.
It’s curious what makes people do the things they do. After my grandma helped raise him and took care of him, he basically decided one day to cut her out. His wife comes to things and sends cards, but he makes no effort with my grandma’s family. I know she will be hurt when the day of the party arrives and he is not there.
He is not ill, so that is not it; he just doesn’t want anything to do with her. His daughter is very close to my grandma. She is so angry with him. The sad thing is at their age, they don’t have a lot of chances to make up for lost time. If he had showed to this party, it would have made the other times he has snubbed her vanish from her mind.
