This is Fucked up

My grandmother isn't alot of peoples favorite person. I figure she's 90 so she can be bitter and evil. Well she's never been really healthy. She's always smoked. A few years ago she was diagnosed with diabetes and as a result she had some of her toes and fingers amputated. in the last year she needed a caregiver so they moved her to Carlsbad to live near my Aunt Debbie and Uncle Mark. They got her an apartment and a caregiver who would check on her Monday-Friday for 4 hours a day.

My cousin graduated from High School Thursday so my Dad's Girlfriend Julie and her exhusband, my uncle James drove to Carlsbad to attend my cousins graduation. They picked up my grandma and spent the day with her. She said that my Aunt and Uncle weren't visiting her and that she felt like no one loved her. Julie told her that she'd come down and help her move back to Farmington so that she'd have more family around next weekend. Kisses good-bye. Julie called my grandma when they got back to Farmington to let her know they were home ok. This was the last time anyone heard from her. The caregiver found my grandmother in her bed gone. No one knows when she died other than sometime between Friday night and this mornng when the caregiver got there.

I don't understand how my family thinks it's ok to treat people like shit. My Uncle Doug drove to my Dad's house and told him and my Uncle James that "It was an inconvenience for him to drive 20 minutes to tell them that their Mother has passed." and that They should have answered the phone. How fucked up is that. Oh yeah No service for her and my already rich Uncle Doug gets EVERYTHING!! She has 16 grandkids and 6 children. Only Doug gets everything. I'm really hurt right now. I shouldn't have expected anything different My sisters and I were the greatest mistakes of her life. I'm just sad that she died thinking that no one loved her because even with as mean as she was to me growing up I still loved her.
