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.
Don’t worry about him.He sounds like he is an ungrateful grumble-bum.
With all the other members of the family present,your grandma will have a terrific time. I’m betting you will need a box (or two) of tissues handy,because there will be tears of joy.
I’m so sorry about her brother. How can he live with himself? Very, very sad. I would just work double hard to make the party a fun time for your grandmother. With all the other people that are coming she’s going to be so occupied visiting with them that his not being there won’t even matter.
While I do hope they make up before it is too late…hopefully your Grandma will focus on who is there:)
I can understand why you’re disgusted. He should think of what she’s been to him in the past. He should also consider treating her the way he’d want to be treated if the tables were turned. There’s still time before the party. I hope he does the right thing.

Some people are not very expressive when it comes to love. But that does not mean they don’t love at all. By keeping in touch with his other sibling and nephews or nieces maybe he is also keeping a news of your grandmother.
In my Opinion life is too short to keep grudges. The earlier you abandon it the better. Who knows tomorrow may be too late.
Sometimes it is as simple as the person who stays away not knowing how to say they’re sorry. They feel bad but are unable to put their feelings into words. Sometimes it is because they feel the other person owes them an appology, even when the other person has no idea what they might have done. People often handle anger like they handle other emotions and are unable to express themselves properly…whatever the problem, the time is now and if he misses that time, he will have to live with the consequences.

Congratulations to your Grandmother on her 90th! This is really great. It is hard to understand why people do the things they do. It is really surprising with siblings that we don’t always realize what we throw away by treating each other this way. I am sure that if everbody else shows up your Grandmother will enjoy herself anyway.
