I am home now. The funeral was very nice. There wasn't a single detail missed. We had a minister and a bagpiper who did two traditional scottish tunes and then my Grandma's and my favorite song ever, amazing grace. I lost it when I looked over to my father and he was crying and amazing grace was playing. Tears just streamed down my face, I couldn't control it. The whole weekend was pleasant until Saturday afternoon when my grandpa wanted me to go over her jewlery and take what I wanted. My uncles wife came in and started pulling out what she wanted, from my piles. She only picked what looked valuable, like diamonds, gold, platinum, precious gems...My grandpa was furious, so was my father, brother and I. My grandpa and grandma had always wanted me to recieve her jewlery and whatever I didn't want could be picked over by whomever else, but my uncles wife didn't get that. She even stole two pieces I had wanted, and lied about it. She is so disrespectful, I don't care who you are, you don't do that to family, especially after a funeral . ~sigh. So we lost several family heirlooms and theyre now lost to the family line entirely. If you know me you know family is uber important to me and familial history is too, so this is very hurtful for me and all around. I am furious and cannot get over it. I've never seen just ignorance and blatant disregaurd for people and thier feelings. Jan, my uncles wife, is such a terrible person. They've only been married for 4 years and my grandparents didn't even like her. She has always been dishonest and greedy. We all have a sinking feelings she will sell the pieces or give them to her daughters, letting them be lost to the family line and name. Ugh. My faith in people dwindles more. Screw her. And fuck her for disrespecting my grandma and my grandpa who had just lost his life partner of 57 years. It hurts so much that it physically hurts me.
Enough of my ranting, which I've been doing since saturday. I will just have to work thru the feelings. Because of this I am making clear instructions in my will concerning family heirlooms. Such a disgusting display. I being 20 was more mature and adult about the process than a 56 year old woman. I am glad I was raised to notice how precious family is and raised to act civily and maturly and unselfishly.
Ahh didn;t I just say I'd quit doing that?! Its hard yano. Other than that there isn't much going on. My dad brought my grandpa back here, to stl, to stay with him for awhile, so he wont get too depressed. my father is afraid he wont be able to take care of himself, which is quite possible. My brother and I think he is going to pass in the next month to three month period. He isnt doing well.
