...welp.
gonna make a try at journaling. again. i have no idea what attempt number this is and i'm a little afraid to check.
maternal grandmother passed away on [redacted], will be interred on [redacted]. don't have much to say about that specific item, as our family unit has been estranged from about 90% of mom's side of the family for the last 14? 15? years.
what i do have to comment on is the obituary. like. what a way to find out that one of my already deceased cousins (also not close to him, i met him once or twice over 20 years ago) was possibly disowned. we read through the list of my grandmother's children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren and we were like "...what, this doesn't add up, count through that again." went through the list again and his name is definitely not there. what the fuck even happened, like, i knew he died more than 15 years ago (that... sure was one helluva family Christmas party announcement), and that the circumstances of his death weren't really disclosed to my family unit, but are they really pretending that this guy never existed??? a whole-ass human person?????
i will probably never know the answer because 1) not talking to that side of the family aside from that remaining 10% and 2) even if we were on speaking terms it's too sensitive a subject to just casually bring up to satisfy my own curiosity.
maybe i'll try asking in 20 years or something.
